IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.361 of 2010 1. SUNIL KUMAR SINHA S/O LATE SHYAM BIHARI LAL R/O 105W, KESHAV PLACE, KHAJPURA, P.S.- SHASHTRI NAGAR, DISTT.- PATNA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY DEPARTMENT OF HOME, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE COMMISSIONER SAHARSA DIVISION, SAHARSA 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE SUPAUL ----------- 03. 25.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 22.9.2009 cancelling his Arms licenses No. 111 of 2003, 145 of 2003 and 146 of 2003. Learned counsel for the State raises a preliminary objection to the availability of the alternative remedy of appeal under Section 18 of the Arms Act before the Commissioner of the Division. Though, learned counsel for the petitioner has sought to persuade this Court otherwise, in view of the alternative statutory remedy of appeal available to the petitioner, the Court is not inclined to go into the issues as all questions of fact and law can well be examined by the appellate authority himself. If the petitioner files such statutory appeal, let the same be considered and disposed off by a reasoned and speaking order considering all issues of fact and law raised before the appellate authority within a maximum 2 period of three months from the date of receipt/production of such memo of appeal along with the copy of the present order. Any such proposed appeal shall be considered without going into issues of limitation in view of the objection taken on behalf of the State to the maintainability of the present writ petition before this Court. The application stands disposed. P.K ( Navin Sinha, J.)
