This paper analyzes the doctrine of Promissory Estoppel through a comparative study of its evolution in England and India. It explores how the principle, rooted in equity and fairness, can extend beyond contractual reliance to ensure governmental accountability. Focusing on the socio-legal protection of sex workers, the research examines judicial precedents and welfare schemes, arguing that Promissory Estoppel should serve as a tool to uphold social justice and protect vulnerable communities from policy inconsistencies.
