Petitioner initially filed the writ application for direction to the respondent authority for passing appropriate order with regard to grant of N.P. bore revolver license as petitioner applied for the same in the year 2008. It appears that during pendency of the writ application, vide order dated 20.05.2010 the District Magistrate, Rohtas rejected the application of the petitioner because the petitioner did not give any substantial proof with regard to threat of his life, hence the I.A. No. 8428 of 2010 has been filed for challenging the order of learned District Magistrate, Rohtas. Considering the aforesaid facts, the I.A. No. 8428 of 2010 stands allowed. Since petitioner has alternative remedy of appeal, this Court is not inclined to deal with the matter on merits. Let the petitioner file an appeal before the Appellate Authority who will consider to condone the delay in filing appeal in view of the fact that the writ petition was pending before this Court. It is expected from the Appellate Authority to consider the claim of the petitioner absolutely within the parameters of Sections 13 and 14 of the Arms Act and dispose off the same within a period of two months of filing of such appeal. With the observations above, the application stands disposed off. Shageer (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
