IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11602 of 2009 CHANDRA BHUSHAN KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 7.9.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. General and omnibus allegation has been made that an application for grant of arms license is pending before the respondent authority for over five years now. He submits that recommendations are there in favour of grant of such license but no final order is issued. Irrespective of the merit of the claim of the petitioner, if this fact is correct that the application of the petitioner was made five years ago, the respondent authority specially the District Magistrate, Bhojpur at Ara is obliged to take a final decision in the matter one way or the other so that the issue is allowed to rest. This writ application is disposed of with a direction that decision be rendered on the issue at the earliest. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
