According to the petitioner, though he had applied for renewal of the license, the first respondent has not taken any final decision. 2. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that the petitioner was holding two licenses and that considering the application made for renewal, it has been decided to renew the license for a rifle. Admittedly this decision has not been communicated to the petitioner and therefore I direct that the first respondent shall communicate the decision he has taken on the submission made by the petitioner for renewal of the license of the arms in accordance with law. This shall be done within four weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. dsn
