D.C.M. LIMITED & ANOTHER vs UNION OF INDIA & ANOTHER

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the Principle of Promissory Estoppel in the context of the Sugar (Control) Order and subsequent incentive schemes. The Court held that the appellants, who sought benefits under the 1975 scheme after its modification in 1980, were not entitled to the incentives as the revised scheme superseded the earlier one. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, affirming that the revised scheme's provisions were applicable and that the appellants could not claim benefits from the earlier scheme post-modification.
