Raghbir Singh Gill vs Gurcharan Singh Tohra & Ors on 9 May, 1980
Government of the Province of Madras, Through the Collector
of Ramnad at Madura, and Another5 wherein it was held that
though notice under Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure,
1908 is mandatory, the suit would not be bad if the non-issuance of
notice is waived by the party for whose benefit the provision has
been enacted. Similarly, in S. Raghbir Singh Gill v. S. Gurcharan
Singh Tohra and Others,6 the argument that the requirement of
Section 94 of the Representation of Peoples Act, 1951 cannot be
waived was rejected observing that a privilege conferred or a right
created by a statute, if it is solely for the benefit of a party, the said
party can waive it. However, where a provision enacted is founded
on public policy, the courts would be slow to apply the doctrine of
waiver. The doctrine applies in the first situation as the right to
waive inheres in the concept of personal privilege and right.

Shyam,10 this Court elucidated the general principle that everyone
has a right to waive and to agree to renounce an advantage of law
or rule made solely for the benefit and protection of the person in
private capacity. If a party gives up the advantage that could be
taken of a particular position in law, it cannot later be permitted to
change and turn around so as to avail of that advantage. However,
this rule will not apply when there is a prohibition against
contracting out of the statute, which prohibition would have its
consequences or in case the waiver would be contrary to public
policy. Further, a person cannot waive a right of a third person.

Pravesh Kumar Sachdeva vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh on 13 September, 2018
16. This principle has been subsequently followed in Pravesh Kumar
Sachdeva v. State of Uttar Pradesh and Others,11 to hold that
waiver is abandonment of a right which normally everybody is at
liberty to waive. Waiver is nothing unless it amounts to release,
albeit it can be adduced from acquiescence or may be implied. The
essence of waiver is an estoppel and they are questions of
conduct and, therefore, necessarily determined on the facts of
each case. As a rule and judicial policy, the courts of law do not
allow a litigant to take inconsistent position to gain advantage
through the aid of judicial proceedings.
