Solution

Partner by Estoppel or Holding out
Explanation:
A partner who is actually not a partner of the firm but represents to the outside world that he is a partner in the firm is regarded as a partner by estoppel or holding out. Also, such persons are liable to outsiders as partners because on the faith of their representation, outsiders have granted credit to the firm.
