THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE HOME SECRETARY SECRETARIATE, PATNA. 2. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, SARAN AT CHAPRA 3. ARMS MAGISTRATE,CHAPRA, SARAN---RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 22.01.2009 It is the stand of the petitioner that his application for grant of arms licence is pending before respondent no.2, the District Magistrate,Saran at Chapra since 30.10.2000 and his grievance is that till date neither the licence has been granted nor refused. Having heard Mr. Alok Kumar Sinha, for the petitioner, Junior Counsel to Standing Counsel No.VII, for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient that respondent No.2 takes decision on the prayer 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 the claim made by the petitioner and that shall be - 2 - decided by respondent no.2 in accordance with law. In order to facilitate earlier decision, petitioner alongwith a copy of this order shall annex the application filed earlier. Application stands disposed off with the observation aforesaid.
