STATE OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH vs NEZONE LAW HOUSE, ASSAM

The Supreme Court held that the principles of promissory estoppel and legitimate expectation do not apply when the claim is based on a disputed document. The Court emphasized that the High Court erred in allowing the writ petition despite evidence of manipulation in the documents presented by the respondent. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision, thereby dismissing the writ petition filed by the respondent.
