In fact, in this writ petition, the petitioner is questioning the policy decision of the Postal authorities. In a judicial review, policy decision of the State Government/Central Government or other Central Government organizations can be taken note of by this Court, if for any reason, the said policy decision is manifestly arbitrary. (2) Having gone through the pleadings, we are of the firm opinion that such arbitrariness is not found in the action of the respondent Postal authorities. (3) In that view of the matter, we decline to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition requires to be rejected and it is rejected. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (THOMAS P.JOSEPH) JUDGE vns
