Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel

  1. Promissory estoppel seems to be that if one party has by his words or conduct made to the other a clear promise which is intended to create legal relations or effect a legal relationship to arise in the future, knowing or intending that it would be acted upon by the other party to whom the promise is made. AJK Government & 4 others v. Spintex Limited 1998 SCR 167 (A)
  2. One of the requirements for the application of doctrine of promissory estoppel is that the same being question of law and fact, must be pleaded — Otherwise the High Court has no jurisdiction to consider any such question in second appeal. Azad Govt. v. Zubair Ahmad Khan and 11 others 2001 SCR 464 (B)
