IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.19103 of 2008 SUNIL KUMAR VISHWAKARMA SON OF LATE RAJ KUMAR VISHWAKARMA, RESIDENT OF MOHALLA DEANS TANK ROAD, ARA, P.S. ARA TOWN, DISTRICT BHOJPUR ----- PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE CHIEF SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, HOME ( POLICE) DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE COMMISSIONER PATNA DIVISION, PATNA. 5. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, BHOJPUR AT ARA. ----------- 2/ 05-02-2009 Learned counsel for the petitioner prays to make correction in the description of respondent no.3. Let him do so. It is the assertion of the petitioner that his prayer for grant of arms licences in Form XI and XII is pending before respondent no.3, since 10.09.2007 and his grievance is that till date neither licences have been granted nor refused. Having heard Mr. Kameshwar Kumar, for the petitioner, A.C. to G.P.5 for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient that respondent no.3, takes final decision on the application of the petitioner, if already not taken, within six 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 entitlement of the petitioner to get those licences and that shall be considered by respondent no.3 in accordance with law. In order to facilitate early decision the petitioner, along - 2 - with a copy of this order, shall annex the application filed earlier before respondent no. 2. Application stands disposed off with the observation aforesaid. BTiwary/ ( Chandramauli Kr. Prasad, ACJ )
