The State of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, Old Secretariat, Patna. 2. The Commissioner, Patna Division, Patna. 3. The District Magistrate, Kaimur, Bhabhua 4. The Superintendent of police, Kaimur, Bhabhua. ----------- 2 30/01/2009 It is the assertion of the petitioner that his application for grant of arms licence is pending for consideration before respondent no. 3, the District Magistrate, Kaimur, Bhabhua and his grievance is that till date neither the licence has been granted nor refused. Having heard Mr. Kejriwal, learned counsel for the petitioner, S.C. XXI for the State, I deem it expedient that respondent no. 3 takes decision on the application 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 decided by respondent no. 3 in accordance with law. In order to facilitate early decision, the petitioner along with a copy of this order shall annex the application filed by him earlier. This writ application stands disposed off with the observation aforesaid. (C. K. Prasad, ACJ.) AMIN - 2 -
