2. Since the lease agreement was official in nature, in the name of Mohammed & Mahmood LLP . Mr. Mahmood can win the case and be relieved in personally, but will be in the name of Mohammed & Mahmood LLP upto his share of capital if suit against the firm survived.

3. Yes partnership is liable for the claims , put forward by Mr. Ahmed .
