THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.24579 of 2010 DATED: 01.10.2010 Between: Gannabathula V.N. Sri Ranganayakulu .. Petitioner And The District Collector, West Godavari District, Eluru and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Petitioner states that he is a businessman and is required to travel during nights along with large amounts of cash and hence there is every necessity to carry an arm with him. He further states that his late father also used to carry arms, having obtained arms license, and after the death of his father, the arms that were possessed by him were deposited with the Royal Armory, Hyderabad. It is the grievance of the petitioner that, after the death of his father, he submitted a representation dated 01.05.2006 to the 1st respondent- District Collector, West Godavari District, seeking to issue him arms license, and since it was not acted upon, he had to submit another representation dated 20.11.2008 to the 1st respondent, but the same is also not considered till date. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents agreed for disposal of the writ petition with the following directions: “The 1st respondent- District Collector, West Godavari District, is directed to consider the representations dated 01.05.2006 and 20.11.2008 submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible.” The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 1st October, 2010 IBL
