Ahmed, v. The Principal Secretary,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.26832 OF 2011 DATED 17th JUNE, 2015 Between:

Ahmed, son of Mohammed .. Petitioner and The Principal Secretary, Home Department and another .. Respondents

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.26832 OF 2011

O R D E R

The grievance of the petitioner was as to the renewal of his arms licence. It appears that the renewal was denied on the ground that the petitioner was not found residing at the given address. His appeal was dismissed by Memo dated 09.09.2011

for the reason that he was unable to explain the delay in preferring the appeal. Sri A. Ravi Shankar, learned counsel for the petitioner, would however state that as the petitioner has been denied the subject arms licence since 2006, he may be given liberty to apply afresh for grant of a licence. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home states that in the event such an application is made, it will be considered in accordance with law. Taking note of the aforestated submissions, the writ petition is closed leaving it open to the petitioner to apply afresh for grant of an arms licence in accordance with rules and in the event such application is made, the same shall be considered on its own merits as per law.

The writ petition is closed. Pending miscellaneous petitions shall also stand closed. No order as to costs.
