THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3805 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is an Advocate, practicing at Kadapa. He submitted an application, dated 29.10.2009, to respondents 3 and 4, with a request to grant weapon license, under the Indian Arms Act. His grievance is that no action has been taken on the application. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Home. The petitioner narrated the circumstances, under which he had to submit the application for grant of weapon license. Obviously, it is to protect himself from the impending threat. An application of this nature, needs to be examined and considered without loss of time. Undue delay would defeat the very purpose of submission of the application. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing respondents 3 and 4 to consider the application, dated 29.10.2009, submitted by the petitioner, and pass appropriate orders within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If they need any further information from the petitioner, they shall address a letter to him, for that purpose. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
