IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR JUDGMENT D.B.CIVIL SPECIAL APPEAL (WRIT) No.949/99 in S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION No.4605/99 MAHAVIR SINGH V/s DIVISIONAL COMMISSIONER & Ors. DATE OF JUDGMENT ::: APRIL 02, 2008 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SHIV KUMAR SHARMA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GUMAN SINGH Shri Mahesh Gupta, for the appellant. Shri Rajneesh Gupta, Dy. Govt. Advocate. BY THE COURT : (ORAL) Heard learned counsel for the parties. Looking to the antecedents of the appellant, the learned District Magistrate, Baran, in exercise of its power u/s 17(3)(B), of the Indian Arms Act, 1959, suspended Gun Licence No.454/97 of Gun No.3818/88 with immediate effect vide order dated April 20, 1998. After unsuccessful appeal, the appellant preferred writ petition invoking Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The learned Single Bench vide order dated September 1, 1999 after considering the antecedents of the appellant, dismissed the writ petition. The said order has been assailed by the appellant in the instant intra court appeal. In our opinion, an acquittal of an appellant in a criminal case does not entitle him to possess gun licence. The antecedents of the appellant, were considered by the learned District Magistrate, Divisional Commissioner and the learned Single Bench and it was held that gun licence of the appellant was rightly suspended. We see no infirmity in the said orders. The appeal being devoid of merit stands dismissed without any order as to costs. (Guman Singh), J. (Shiv Kumar Sharma), J. Chauhan/
