Counsel for the Petitioner: PARTY-IN-PERSON Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. Perused the material placed before me. Petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to issue arms licence for revolver to him. Petitioner gives many a reason in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. It appears that he also made a representation to the first respondent in that regard, but so far no orders have been passed. Hence the present writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondents are directed to consider the representation said to have been made by the petitioner and pass appropriate and reasoned orders and communicate the same to the petitioner. However, if no application is pending, the petitioner is at liberty to make a fresh representation to the respondents, and on filing of any such representation, the respondents shall consider the same and dispose of in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ------------------ kvsn 07-04-2005 To 1 The District Collector and Magistrate, Cuddapah, Cuddapah District. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Chinnamandem Mandal, Cuddapah District. 3 The Superintendent of Police, Cuddapah, Cuddapah District. 4 The Principal Secretary for Home Affairs, Government of A.P.
