Case Laws:
1.Gyasri Bai v. Dhansukh Lal 1964
It was held by honorable apex court that if the first two conditions are fulfilled, but the third is not, then there is no scope to invoke the doctrine of Estoppel.

3. The doctrine of promissory estoppels was developed first in Hughes v. Metropolitan Railway Co. 1877.
4. However, the doctrine lost its value and again brought back by Lord Denning in the case of Central London Property Trust Ltd. V. High Trees House Ltd. 1947.
5. The history of doctrine of promissory estoppel in India can be traced back to the case of Ganges Mfg Co. v. Sourajmul 1880, where the Calcutta High Court had held that the doctrine of estoppels was not only limited to the law of evidence, but that a person may be stopped from doing acts or relying on particular arguments or contentions.
