Question

• A. Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel
• B. Doctrine of Waiver
• C. Doctrine of Legitimate Expectation
• D. Doctrine of Public Trust

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the case of Motilal Padampat Sagar Mills Co. Ltd. v. State of UP, the Supreme Court dealt with the Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel. The principle prevents a party from departing from a promise that has been relied upon, even in the absence of a formal contract. This doctrine is applied when one party makes a promise, and the other party reasonably relies on it.
