Legitimate Expectation Doctrine | State Bound by CM’s Public Commitment to Regularize Panchayat Sachivs : Chhattisgarh HC Mandates 45-Day Grievance Redressal
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that a public commitment by the Chief Minister to regularize Panchayat Sachivs creates a legally enforceable legitimate expectation under administrative law. The state must constitute a committee to decide grievances within 45 days or face judicial consequences, reinforcing promissory estoppel in public employment matters.
