IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13676 of 2006 RADHE SHYAM @ RADHESHYAM YADAV S/O MITHAI YADAV, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE TIGHARA KHAIRWA, P.S. AKAUNA, DISTT. DEORIYA (U.P.), AT PRESENT R/O VILLAGE HASSEPUR, P.S. BHOREY, DISTRICT GOPALGANJ (BIHAR) ……PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, GOPALGANJ, BIHAR 3. COMMISSIONER, SARAN DIVISION AT CHAPRA, BIHAR ….RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 27.01.2009 Petitioner possessed arms licence. Same was revoked by the District Magistrate on the ground that the petitioner is involved in four criminal cases. Petitioner preferred appeal before the Divisional Commissioner, who had also dismissed the appeal. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner has preferred this application and seeks quashing of the aforesaid order of the District Magistrate and the Divisional Commissioner. Mr. Sanjay Kumar Mishra, appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been put on trial and acquitted by the court of competent jurisdiction and hence the order revoking the licence is fit to be set aside. I do not find any substance in the submission of the learned Counsel for the petitioner. Fact of the matter is that the petitioner was involved in a large number of criminal cases and taking into account the aforesaid fact the District Magistrate had revoked the licence and the said order has been affirmed in appeal. Further petitioner had given wrong address to obtain the licence. In that view of the matter, it cannot be said that the petitioner’s arms licence has been revoked on illegal grounds. - 2 - I do not find any merit in the application and it is dismissed in limine.
