Explanation

A son cannot automatically become a partner on his father's death. Partnership is based on contract (Section 6), not status. While the son may inherit the father's share in partnership property, he doesn't become a partner unless there's a fresh agreement with remaining partners. This distinguishes partnership from Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) which is status-based.
