Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' claim for interest subsidy under the plea of promissory estoppel, stating that the Draft Seventh Five Year Plan 1985-90 and related communications do not constitute a binding promise by the government. The Court clarified that the appellants failed to demonstrate a legitimate expectation or reliance on the alleged promise of a 5% interest subsidy, as they had already received a 25% subsidy on fixed assets. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Bombay High Court's orders rejecting the claim.
