26 September 2013 An assessee has sold the business with assets under slump sale. However, the vendee firm had opted to continue with the vendor firm name & style for maintaining goodwill. Few of the vendor's old partners continued in the firm while others retired after slump sale. The firm continued with certain group of partners from Vendee firm till 31/03 and the vendor's remaining partners also retired.
