BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/05/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,J. ------------------------------------------ WP(C)NO.12107 OF 2007-N ------------------------------------------ Judgment The petitioner is an Association of Pharmacists, working under the Kerala Government. It has filed Ext.P1 representation before the Government, praying that their retirement age may be enhanced to 58. As per Rule 60(a) Part I KSR, the retirement age is 55. Whether the retirement age should be enhanced or not, is a policy matter. No Court can direct the Government to take a decision in this matter and amend the above Rule. Since the prayer in Ext.P1 is to amend Rule 60(a), I think, it is not proper for this Court to direct the Government to consider the same as the Government do not owe any duty to the petitioner in this regard and the petitioner does not have any corresponding right. Accordingly, the Writ Petition fails and it is dismissed. 29.05.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
