Judgment text as reported

FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN VS SHEIKH RASHEED AHMED Judicial estoppel, doctrine of---Concept and scope---A litigant who has, with full knowledge and free will, adopted a particular stance before a Court of law and has secured an order on the basis thereof cannot subsequently be permitted to assume a contradictory position to the prejudice of the opposite party or to the detriment of the sanctity of judicial proceedings---This doctrine, rooted in considerations of fairness, consistency and finality, operates as a restraint against approbation and reprobation in the course of litigation---This doctrine is a shield forged in equity to protect the integrity of judicial proceedings; it presupposes that the party making the earlier representation possessed both the consciousness of its significance and the authority to bind the party in whose name it was uttered.
