Patna High Court CWJC No.14916 of 2017 (2) dt.19-03-2018 Keeping in view the fact that there is a provision of statutory appeal under Section 18 of the Arms Act, 1959, this Court is not inclined to interfere. Accordingly, this application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to prefer appeal along with the limitation petition and if the same is filed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, it is expected from the Appellate Authority to consider the condonation of delay in filing the appeal in view of the fact that the petitioner was pursuing his remedy before this Court and dispose of the appeal expeditiously in accordance with law.
