DATE OF DECISION: 08.7.2010 Gurwinder Singh ...Petitioner VERSUS The State of Punjab & Others …Respondents CORAM HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI PRESENT: Mr.BS Sodhi, Advocate for the petitioner Ms.Kavita Arora, AAG, Punjab Permod Kohli, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. Ms.Kavita Arora, AAG, Punjab who is present in Court has been asked to accept notice on behalf of the respondents. Keeping in view the prayer made and with the consent of the counsel, this petition is disposed of at motion stage. The petitioner applied for the Arm Licence (.315 bore/12bore/pistol 32 bore) on 6.1.2010 to the District Magistrate, Amritsar. The grievance of the petitioner is that neither the petitioner has been granted the licence nor the District Magistrate has passed any order on the application of the petitioner for grant of licence. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits CWP No.11809 of 2010 2 that he would be satisfied if the respondents are directed to consider the application of the petitioner. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents to take a decision on the application (Annexure P-1) for grant of licence within a period of one month from the date a certified copy of this order is furnished to the competent authority. Needless to say, in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, it shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 08.7.2010 MFK
