Headnote | Orissa Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation Act, 1980 - s. 33 - Request made to appellant-Corporation for allotment of land (for establishing steel plant) - Corporation's request to State Government to issue orders to process the allotment - The State approved the allotment in principle subject to certain terms and conditions - The proposed allottee was required to pay the cost of the land in twenty half-yearly equal instalments - Execution of lease-deed was condition precedent for allotment of land - On deposit of first instalment, advance possession of a portion of land was given by the Corporation to the proposed allottee - Lease deed was not executed even after the possession of the land was taken over - After about more than five years, appellant-Corporation gave final notice to deposit balance defaulted amount toward the cost of the land - On failure to execute the lease deed and to pay the defaulted amount, possession of the land was cancelled and was resumed by the Corporation - The amount deposited towards the one instalment was adjusted towards compensation for use and occupation of the land and damages - After resumption, the land was further allotted to third parties - Cancellation of possession and resumption of land was questioned in court - High Court held that the Corporation had not complied with Cl. 18 of the policy decision whereby 3 month's notice was required to be given before resuming the possession of the land and directed the Corporation to lease out the fond to the proposed allottee - On appeal, held: Under s. 33, Corporation can dispose of the land subject to directions given by the State Government and subject to such terms and conditions as are necessary - Execution of lease-deed was condition precedent for allotment of land - Since the lease-deed was never executed, the relationship of lessor-lessee never came into being - Thus Cl. 18 of policy decision never came into force as no concluded contract came into being and the transaction became void - Therefore, it is not necessary to serve three months' notice before resumption of land and resumption was justified - Forfeiture of amount for use and occupation of land and for damages was also appropriate as compensation could be claimed u/s. 70 of Contract Act - In the facts of the case, principle of promissory estoppel is not attracted as no assurance was given by the Corporation - Cost of Rs. 5 lakhs imposed on the respondent (proposed allottee) - Contract Act, 1872 - s. 70 - Administrative Law - Principle of Promissory Estoppel. |
