IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4929 of 2010 Pramod Kumar Choudhary Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 03. 19.07.2011 Heard Ms. Archana Palkar Khopde, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Himanshu Kumar, assisting counsel to G.A. 3 for the State. The writ petition has been filed for quashing of the order dated 29.03.2006 passed by the Commissioner, Tirhut Division, Muzaffarpur in Arms Appeal No. 78 of 2005, whereby the appeal preferred by the petitioner has been rejected and the order passed by the District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur in Arms Case No. 1 of 2004-05 dated 28.06.2005, whereby the arms license has been continued to remain under suspension by reason of a criminal case pending before the Court, has been affirmed. It is not in dispute that an F.I.R. was instituted by one Paras Nath Choudhary against the brother of the petitioner and some others in relation to an occurrence giving rise to Basuraj P.S. Case No. 66 of 2006 which was instituted under the provisions of the Penal Code as well as Section 27 of the Arms Act. It is also not in dispute that the allegation is that the brother of the petitioner was using the gun in question of which the license is in the name of the petitioner. It is in these circumstances, that the authorities under the Arms Act had 2 suspended the license of the arms in question. By the Impugned orders the authorities under the Act have disposed of the request of the petitioner for its renewal subject to the final outcome of the criminal case. It is not in dispute that the criminal case has not reached its logical conclusion. For the reasons aforesaid, I find no infirmity with the order passed by the authorities as contained in Annexures-2 and 3. The application is dismissed. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
