The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that long-standing regularization of a Devasthanam Attender after 14 years of continuous service creates a legitimate expectation protected under administrative law, and cannot be undone by post-facto cancellation on procedural technicalities. This strengthens the rights of public servants with prolonged, authority-sanctioned service, even in non-standard posts, reinforcing that administrative finality must respect entrenched service history.
