The court found that petitioners who made substantial investments based on policy promises were entitled to benefits despite policy withdrawal. The state's justification regarding delayed cane payments was deemed an afterthought, as the original policy only required full payment before availing benefits, not timely payment throughout.

Petitioners were granted entitlement to all policy benefits for the entire validity period. en-us Tue, 12 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 16:30:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460653 The Allahabad HC held that the State Government of Uttar Pradesh's withdrawal of the Sugar Industry Promotion Policy, 2004 was arbitrary and violated principles of promissory estoppel, natural justice, and legitimate expectation.
