Raja ZAHOOR AHMED VS CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY art. 199---Judicial review---Legitimate expectancy, doctrine of---Scope---Jurisprudence on doctrine of legitimate expectancy has evolved over the years---Even in a case where conduct of a public authority gives rise to legitimate expectation of an individual to be treated in a certain way, the onus merely shifts to public authority to establish that notwithstanding such expectation its decision to act contrary to such representation is driven by public interest---Doctrine of legitimate expectation is a consideration for decision maker and not an absolute bar against acting in a certain manner in such cases where such action promotes larger public interest---In case of any conflict between rights of an individual and rights of a community, Court has to undertake a balancing exercise so that interests of individual are not allowed to trump the interests of community.
