Legitimate Expectation in Flood Rehabilitation | Delayed Land Allotment Cannot Be Voided by Post-Allotment Demand for Pre-1983 Documents : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that flood-affected individuals who have paid all dues and received formal allotment cannot be denied possession decades later due to retroactive demands for pre-1983 documentation. This reinforces that legitimate expectation, once triggered by state action, binds the government to honor its commitments - a critical safeguard for disaster survivors seeking housing security.
