Shailendra Kumar Rai And 24 Ors vs State Of U.P. And 2 Ors on 11 December, 2017

In the case of Central Airmen Selection Board and another vs. Surender Kumar Das (supra) (paras 7 and 8), Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the principle of promissory estoppel is based on equitable principles. A person who has himself misled the authority by making a fake statement, cannot invoke this principle, if his misrepresentation misled the authority into taking a decision which on discovery of the misrepresentation is sought to be cancelled. The facts of the present case shows that on account of false declaration in their application forms, the petitioners were permitted to appear in the written examination on the belief that they possess Electrician Trade Certificate and on being successful in written examination, they were called for interview. However, when papers were checked at the time of interview, it was found that they do not possess the required eligibility i.e. Electrician Trade Certificate. Consequently, they were not allowed for interview. Thus, there is no illegality in not permitting the petitioners for interview. They cannot take any advantage of their own misleading act of participation in the written examination.
