Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF 3. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF 4. THE ARMS MAGISTRATE, NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF ……RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 19.01.2009 Narendra/ It is the assertion of the petitioner that he filed application for grant of arms licence as back as on 6.8.2001 and though the same has been recommended by the Superintendent of Police, his grievance is that till date neither the arms licence has been granted nor refused. Having heard Mr. Anil Chandra for the petitioner, J.C. to G.A. VII for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient that District Magistrate, Nalanda at Bihar Sharif 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 for grant of licence. Application stands disposed off with the observation aforesaid. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad, ACJ.) 2
