Title Doctrine of promissory estoppel
Details

The Appellate Division held that if the Ministry of Education had the authority to affiliate a college/school for providing degree courses, in that case also, a teacher of a private college/school could claim a right of the privilege of MPO after such affiliation on the said doctrine. This doctrine may be invoked if the decision of the authority deprives a person some benefit or advantage which he either had been permitted to enjoy by the authority, which he could legitimately expect to continue until he is intimated some rational grounds for withdrawing it and he has been given an opportunity to comment, or has received assurance from the authority that they will not be withdrawn without giving him an opportunity of advancing reasons for contending that they should not be withdrawn. .....Gov. of Bangladesh & others -Vs.- Md.
