D.R. Nim, I. P. S vs Union Of India on 5 January, 1967
Insofar as fixation of cut-off date is concerned, the
same can be regarded as arbitrary by a court if the same be
one about which it can be said that it has been "picked out
from a hat", as was found to be by this Court in D.R. Nim v.
Union of India3 because of which fixation of 19-5-1991 as
the date for the purpose concerned was held to be invalid.
