Yes, A partnership firm may be a member or director (representing by the partner of the firm) in the company.
Share shall be in the name of the Firm which is investing in the company.
There is no harm in forming a company by a partnership firm.
Other views are also welcome

A partnership firm can be a member but not a director in the company. Only individual can be director in a company. Partnership firm can become shareholder of a company. Shares will be held in the name of partnership firm.

Sanjay,
I agree that only individual can be Directors of a compnay.Sec 253
But an individual being Partner in a firm, may represent as Director in the company on behalf of the partnership firm.

Sir an individual of a partnership firm can be director in a company but not the partnership firm, the director will represent only himself he will sign as a director and not as a director representing the firm.

Society/Trust as a member
Department Clarification- A society registered under the Society Registration Act, 1860 should not be deemed to be a ‘body corporate’ within the meaning of the section 2(7) of the Companies Act, although such a society can be treated as a ‘person’ having separate legal entity apart from the members constituting it and thereby capable of being a member of a company under section 41(2) of the Companies Act, 1956. [Circular Letter, dated-24-11-1962]
Shares belonging to society held in the name of trustee simpliciter
Department Clarification-In 1957 the Department of Company Affairs was advised that the shares in the company, being the property of a charitable trust, can be held in the name of the trustee. (Extracts from Department’sFile No. 1(43)-PT/67)

thanks to everybody for the opinions.
please also throw light as to whether shares will be held in the name of the partnership firm or the partner representing the firm.
opinion is also sought for if there is a change in constitution of partnership firm. what if all the partners get retired and new partners take over.

Shares will be held in the name of the partnership firm and not in the name of the partner representing the firm.

If a demat account can be opened in the name of the firm then i think shares of companies can be held by the firm also.

No. Partnership firm can never become a member or a director in any Private Limited Company. It can have a Demat a/c and purchase shares of listed companies. But, it can never become a shareholder in Private Limited Company

No, a partnership firm cannot become the shareholder of the Company because it has a separate entity from its partners.
According to section 253, only individual can be directors.
