Solution
When the business of the firm is declared illegal.
Explanation:
A partnership firm is compulsorily dissolved when the business of the firm becomes illegal under the law. This situation makes it impossible for the firm to continue its operations legally, and therefore, the firm must be dissolved. While the death or insolvency of a partner may lead to dissolution under certain conditions, it is not automatic unless specified in the partnership agreement or by law.
