Legitimate Expectation | Typing Test Imposed 8 Years Post-Promotion Without Notice or Training Violates Service Fairness : Punjab and Haryana HC
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that imposing a typing test eight years after promotion, with no prior warning, training, or mention in the original promotion order, breaches the doctrine of legitimate expectation and natural justice. The court mandated a six-month grace period for compliance, setting a critical precedent for public employees facing retroactive service conditions.
