The petitioner has challenged an order dated 21.6.1996 to the extent same is adverse to her. Father of the petitioner had All India License SCA/432519/1997 2/2 JUDGMENT to hold three specified fire arms. Since he was old aged person, he decided to transfer one such arm in favour of the present petitioner. Request was partially granted by the State Government by order dated 21.6.1996. Though license was transferred, it was made valid only for State of Gujarat. It is this part that the petitioner has challenged in this petition. 2. From the record, it appears that the petitioner was professor in Hindi at the relevant time. She may have required to carry fire arm or possess one which she in due course may inherit from her father who was an ex-ruler, but it is difficult to appreciate why she would need to carry the same outside of State of Gujarat. 3. No infirmity in the impugned order is therefore, found. 4. The petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. (Akil Kureshi,J.) (raghu)
