Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined whether a plea of estoppel can be invoked by a party ignoring its conduct that led the other party to change its position detrimentally. The case involved disputes over trusteeship of a charitable trust, where the respondents sought to remove the appellants as trustees and filed suit for injunction. The court analyzed the principles of estoppel in the context of conduct and reliance, emphasizing that conduct leading to detrimental reliance can prevent a party from asserting certain rights. The judgment clarified the limits of estoppel in trust and property disputes, ultimately ruling on the admissibility of the plea based on conduct.
