                          J U D G M E N T

Petitioners are aggrieved by Exhibit P2 Government Order in

the matter of commutation of pension. The grievance mainly

pertains to fixing of the cut off date.

2. It is now settled law that in such policy matters,

Government is entitled to fix the cut off date. Unless there is

challenge that such fixation is discriminatory, or in a hostile

manner, no interference is possible.

Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed making it clear that

it will be open to the petitioners to move the Government for

change in the policy.

KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
