3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Respondent/State.

4. From the facts of the case, it appears that there is a

Patna High Court CWJC No.6790 of 2025(2) dt.10-02-2026 2/2 money dispute between the petitioner and respondent no. 5 and in order to settle that dispute, the petitioner has taken steps for cancellation of gun license of respondent no. 5. The writ jurisdiction cannot be taken as a tool for settling the dispute regarding money and other disputes. If the petitioner has some threat of life, he can take recourse of law under the criminal jurisdiction. Accordingly, the present writ application is dismissed being devoid of any merit.
