FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN VS SHEIKH RASHEED AHMED No estoppel against law---No estoppel can arise from a statement made in excess of authority---Where a counsel or representative of the State makes a concession that travels beyond the bounds of their lawful mandate, or where the concession is inconsistent with a subsisting statutory or judicial command, equity cannot be pressed into service to perpetuate what the law itself prohibits---There is no estoppel against law, and a statutory obligation cannot be rendered nugatory by reason of a concession inadvertently or unauthorisedly made in the course of litigation.
