JUDGMENT

Petitioner applied for renewal of arms licence. Petitioner also submits that favourable report has been received from the Police and not decision has been taken in spite of lapse of more than one year.

2. In that view of the matter, there shall be a direction to the District Magistrate to take appropriate decision after adverting to the Police report within one month. Needless to say that the decision of this Court in 2012(1) KLT 427 and 2015(1) KLT 41 shall be adverted by the District Magistrate. Writ petition is disposed of.
