State of Uttar Pradesh & Ors. (2011) 3 SCC 193; State of Rajasthan v. J.K. Udyog Ltd. (2004) 7 SCC 673 and Pawan Alloys & Casting Pvt. Ltd. v. Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board, (1997) 7 SCC 251. In the present case too, this Court is of the opinion that since the duty refund eligibility was linked to the payment of duty, to offset the competitive additions that imported goods would have over domestically manufactured ones, the parity achieved by another policy compelled the government to amend the Hand Book of Procedures in the manner it did. There is clearly neither any arbitrariness nor violation of doctrine of promissory estoppel.
