The Superintendent of Police, Buxar, District-Buxar. 5. The Sub-Divisional Officer, Buxar, District-Buxar……Respondents. 2. 06.09.2011. Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner has challenged the order dated 19.12.2008 passed by the learned District Magistrate, Buxar, in Arms Case No. 203 of 2008 whereby the application for grant of arms license of N.P. Bore Rifle has been rejected. In view of an alternative remedy of appeal, the petitioner is permitted to withdraw the writ application to avail the alternative remedy of appeal. It is expected that the learned appellate authority will consider to condone the delay in filing of appeal in view of the fact that the writ application was pending before this Court. With the above observation, the writ application is disposed off. U. K. ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
