THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 4686 OF 2010 Dated 19th April, 2010 Between: D.Chandu Naik …Petitioner And The Collector and District Magistrate, Khmmam and two others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Smt K.Annapurna Reddy Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Home The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Certiorari to quash proceedings dated 26.10.2009 issued by respondent No.1. By the said proceedings, the petitioner’s application for sanction of arms licence was rejected. It is not in dispute that under Section 18 of the Arms Act, 1959, the petitioner has a remedy of appeal to question the impugned order. Ordinarily, this Court does not entertain a writ petition filed bypassing such alternative remedy, which in my view is efficacious in the present case. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the said remedy. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP No.6028 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 19th April, 2010 vrn
