Yes X & Y can be regarded as Partners in a Partnership Firm...

As per the Provision of Section 4 of the Indian Partnership Act 1932, "Partnership" is the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or "any of them acting for all."

Always remember that the TRUE TEST OF PARTNERSHIP is "MUTUAL AGENCY".
