I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. The petitioner claimed to have submitted his application for arms licence on 09.01.2009 and that by proceedings dated 15.01.2009 respondent No.1 called for a report from respondent No.2. The petitioner felt aggrieved by the inaction of respondent No.1 in disposing of his application. As the grievance of the petitioner on the delay in disposing of his application by respondent No.1 is legitimate, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the District Collector, Chittoor District to dispose of the petitioner’s application for arms licence, if not already done, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.7556 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 15th March, 2010 vrn
