Promotions Under General Policy Not Voidable Under Reservation Cancellation Order | Legitimate Expectation Protected: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court held that cancelling reservations under Rule 8-A cannot retroactively invalidate promotions made under a prior, general government order that did not rely on reservation quotas. This protects the legitimate expectation of employees promoted through transparent, non-reservation-based processes, reinforcing that administrative reversals must respect the legal basis of the original appointment.
