BUXAR(T), DISTRICT BUXAR AND PAST RESIDENT OF VILLAGE PIPRARH, P.S. RAJPUR, DISTRICT BUXAR ….PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, BUXAR 3. THE SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICER, BUXAR,DISTRICT BUXAR 4. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, BUXAR, DISTRICT BUXAR 5. THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE OF POLICE BUXAR (T), BUXAR 6. THE ARMS MAGISTRATE, BUXAR, DISTRICT BUXAR ……RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 19.01.2009 It is the assertion of the petitioner that he filed application for grant of licence for revolver/pistol as back as on 9.10.2003 and though respondent no.2, the District Magistrate, Buxar informed him orally on 22.11.2004 that his prayer for grant of licence has been rejected, but the copy of the said order is not being made available to him. Petitioner’s case is that no order in writing has been passed rejecting his prayer for grant of licence. Having heard Mr. Nil Kamal 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 respondent no.2, the District Magistrate, Buxar makes available to the petitioner the order passed on the application filed by the petitioner for grant of arms licence within four weeks. However in case the order has not been passed, respondent no.2, the District Magistrate, Buxar shall pass order on the prayer of the petitioner within six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of 2 this order. I direct accordingly. It is made clear that I have not expressed any opinion in regard to the merit of the case of the party. Application stands disposed off accordingly.
