THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 28147 of 2011 ORDER: Against the order of the first respondent dated 18.08.2011 rejecting the petitioner’s request for renewal of his arm licence, an appeal lies under Section 18 of the Arms Act, 1959 (the Act). As the petitioner has effective, and efficacious, remedy under the Act, I see no reason to exercise discretion under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Leaving it open to the petitioner, if he is so aggrieved, to prefer an appeal against the order impugned in this Writ Petition, the Writ Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:17.10.2011 usd
