Pappa, Pappu & Law of Estoppel


Pappu: Pappa what is 'estoppel'?

Pappa: I am so glad that you are not thinking of politics all the time and that you are now trying to learn Law.

Pappu: Thank you Pappa but tell me what is 'Estoppel'

Pappa: In law it is a rule of evidence whereby a person is precluded from denying the truth of a statement of facts he has previously asserted ...

Pappu: Does it mean that having said that he has never dreamt of becoming the Prime Minister, now Mr. Narinder Modi will be stopped by law from contesting for the post of P.M.?

Pappa: Oh no Pappu, you have come to politics again. Go and finish your homework.

Hear!...Hear!
