IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8666 of 2004 Sanjeev Kumar Tulsyan son of late Prablad Rai Tulsyan, resident of Mayaram Road, P.S. Town and District Khagaria. --- Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Commissioner, Munger Division, Munger. 2. The District Magistrate cum Collector, Khagaria. 3. The Superintendent of Police, Khagaria. 4. The Sub-Divisional Officer, Khagaria. ----------- For the petitioner Mr. S.D. Sanjay, Advocate. For the respondent: Mr Chhote Lal Narain Singh, SC I and Mr. Ajeet Kumar, J.C. to S.C.I. 7/ 19-01-2009 Initially the prayer of the petitioner in this writ application was for a direction to the respondents to grant him licence for revolver. During the pendency of the writ application he has been granted licence but its validity is within the State of Bihar. It is the assertion of the petitioner that in connection with his business activity, he had to go to the other parts of the country and, therefore, it should be valid throughout the territory of India. From the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of respondent no.1 it is evident that the respondents are in seisin of the matter. In fact by letter dated 30th January, 2008 the District Magistrate had recommended that the licence be extended throughout the territory of India, except Jammu and Kasmir. Mr. S.D.Sanjay, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, submits that the said recommendation was made as back as on 30th of January, 2008 but till date final decision has not been taken. Having heard Mr. S.D.Sanjay, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, Standing Counsel No.1 for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it - 2 - expedient that the State Government takes final decision in the matter, if already not taken, within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. I direct accordingly. It is made clear that I have not expressed any opinion in regard to the merit of the case of the party and that shall be adjudicated by the State Government in accordance with law. Application stands disposed off with the aforesaid observation. BTiwary/ ( Chandramauli Kr. Prasad, A.C.J.)
