SUMMARY
Administrative policies may change with changing circumstances including changes in the political complexion of government. The liberty to make such changes is something that is in here in our form of constitutional government. When a change in administrative policy takes place and is communicated in a department circular, only reasonable expectations that may have been aroused by a previous circular are destroyed. But freedom to change policy is not absolute. It must be weighed with the public interest sought to be safe by change of the policy. There ought to be a justification and this change must be communicated to those who might have the expectations or used by previous policy to ensure fairness and guarantee procedural legitimate expectation of these who may be affected Plaintiff would not benefit in those circumstances”
