1979 (7) TMI 248 - SCH - Service Tax

Summary

The Supreme Court granted leave and disposed of the appeal as it involved a single point of law covered by a previous decision. The State made promises to induce the appellants to move to the Agriculture Department, but later tried to backtrack on those promises. The Court applied the doctrine of promissory estoppel and directed the State to implement the promises made in Ex. P-1 within three months, failing which the State would be held in breach. No costs were awarded.
