State Of Bihar And Ors vs Ramjee Prasad And Ors on 11 April, 1990

In fact several decisions of this Court have gone to the extent of saying that the choice of a cut-off date cannot be dubbed as arbitrary even if no particular reason is given for the same in the counter- affidavit filed by the Government (unless it is shown to be totally capricious or whimsical), vide State of Bihar vs. Ramjee Prasad 1990(3) SCC 368, Union of India Vs. Sudhir Kumar Jaiswal 1994(4) SCC 212 (vide SCC 5), Ramrao vs. All In- dia Backward Class Bank Employees Welfare Assn. 2004(2) SCC 76 (vide para 31), University Grants Commission Vs. Sadhana Chaudary 1996(10) SCC 536, etc. It follows, therefore, that even if no reason has been given in the counter-affidavit of the Government or the executive authority as to why a particular cut-off date has been chosen, the court must still not declare that date to be arbitrary and violative of Article 14 unless the said cut- off date leads to some blatantly capricious or outrageous result.
