P.R. Deshpande vs Maruti Balaram Haibatti on 11 August, 1998

"12. The doctrine of election is based on the rule of estoppel--the principle that one cannot approbate and reprobate inheres in it. The doctrine of estoppel by election is one of the species of estoppels in pais (or equitable estoppel), which is a rule in equity. By that law, a person may be precluded by his actions or conduct or silence when it is his duty to speak, from asserting a right which he otherwise would have had. Taking inconsistent pleas by a party makes its conduct far from satisfactory. Further, the parties should not blow hot and cold by taking inconsistent stands and prolong proceedings unnecessarily. [Vide Babu Ram v. Indra Pal Singh, reported in (1998) 6 SCC 358, P.R. Deshpande v. Maruti Balaram Haibatti, reported in (1998) 6 SCC 507, and Mumbai International Airport (P) Ltd. v. Golden Chariot Airport [(2010) 10 SCC 422 = (2010) 4 SCC (Civ) 195]."

34. A party cannot be permitted to "blow hot and cold", "fast and loose" or "approbate and reprobate". Where one knowingly accepts the benefits of a contract or conveyance or an order, is estopped to deny the validity or binding effect on him of such contract or conveyance or order. This rule is applied to do equity, however, it must not be applied in a manner as to violate the principles of right and good conscience. [Vide Nagubai Ammal v. B.
