Versus

State of Haryana and another

...Respondents

CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA ...

Present : Mr.Anshul Khurana, Advocate for the petitioner.

...

TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA, J.(ORAL) Pleadings on record would indicate that the petitioner has been issued an Arms Licence which is valid in four States i.e., Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana.

The short grievance raised in the instant writ petition is that an application submitted to the concerned Licensing Authority to extend the operation of the Arms Licence across the entire country is pending since long and no final decision thereupon has been taken. Counsel adverts to Rule 19 of the Arms Rules, 2016 which governs extension of area as regards the validity of licence and submits that the prayer of the petitioner for extending the area of operation of Arms Licence across the country is open to be considered under the said Rule.

Without going into the merits of the case and without even ascertaining the correctness of the averments made in the writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a

CWP No.35979 of 2019 -2direction to respondent No.2 i.e. Deputy Commissioner, Palwal/competent authority that in case the application of the petitioner for extension of the area of operation of the Arms Licence of the petitioner is pending as of date, the same be processed in accordance with law and a final decision be taken thereon and conveyed to the petitioner expeditiously.
