Meher, Abid, Rani and Azra were partners in Abid Associates, a firm of town planners and consultants. Bari Builders supply goods to Abid Associates on credit. Abid died on 5 January 2015. Meher, Rani and Azra decided to continue the business in the old firm's name. However, neither the surviving partners nor the representative of Abid gave public notice to this effect. Due to insolvency of a major client, Abid Associates was facing difficulty in making payment to Bari Builders. When Bari Builders investigated the matter, they came to know about the death of Abid. They have now filed suits for the recovery of outstanding balance, severally against Abid's estate and Meher, as the credit was extended on the faith of Abid and Meher. In view of the provisions of the Partnership Act, 1932 explain whether Bari Builders are justified in filing the above suits and would they succeed in recovering the outstanding amount under the above circumstances
