Judgment text as reported

UZMA MANZOOR VS VICE-CHANCELLOR KHUSHAL KHAN KHATTAK UNIVERSITY, KARAK Scope and connotation---Doctrine of legitimate expectation connoted that a person may have a reasonable expectation of being treated in a certain way by administrative authorities owing to some uniform practice or an explicit promise made by the concerned authority---In fact, a legitimate expectation ascended in consequence of a promise, assurance, practice or policy made, adopted or announced by or on behalf of government or a public authority---When such a legitimate expectation was obliterated, it afforded locus standi to challenge the administrative action and even in the absenteeism of a substantive right, a legitimate expectation may allow an individual to seek judicial review of a wrongdoing---In deciding whether the expectation was legitimate or not, the courts may consider whether the decision of public authority had breached a legitimate expectation and, if it was proved so, then the court may annul the decision and direct the concerned authority/person to live up to the legitimate expectation--- Said doctrine was basically applied as a tool to watch over the actions of administrative authorities and in essence imposed obligations on all public authorities to act fair and square in all matters encompassing legitimate expectation.
