casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: FCI v. M/s. Babulal Agrawal (C.A. 3484/1997) The Supreme Court held that FCI breached its contractual promise to lease storage plinths for three years by terminating early in 1988, and awarded full damages to Agrawal despite the absence of a registered lease deed. The Court applied promissory estoppel, finding that Agrawal relied on FCI's explicit representation by constructing the plinths to specifications and taking bank loans, and therefore FCI could not escape liability merely because no formal lease was executed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
