Legitimate Expectation in Service Continuity | Construction Workers Entitled to Retain Employment Pending Welfare Board Decision: Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court has ruled that construction workers whose service was terminated without formal order may continue working until the Welfare Board decides their representation, affirming legitimate expectation when no replacement has been appointed. This sets a critical precedent for informal workers relying on de facto employment stability under administrative law, reinforcing natural justice beyond strict procedural compliance.
