In which of the following cases the Supreme Court raised doubts regarding the applicability of the doctrine of estoppel beyond Section 115, Evidence Act (now Section 121 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Madanappa v Chandramma expressly doubted whether a court deciding estoppel by representation could travel beyond section 115 of the Evidence Act (now Section 121 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023). Its facts did not establish the required misleading representation and reliance. This identifies the historical decision; it is not a statement that the later equitable doctrine of promissory estoppel is unavailable.
