IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17625 of 2009 1. JITENDRA KUMAR SINGH S/O SRI AMARDEO SINGH R/O VILL- BAHUWARA, P.S- SHEOSAGAR, DISTT- ROHTAS Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE COMMISSIONER, PATNA DIVISION, PATNA, BIHAR 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, ROHTAS AT SASARAM 4. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, ROHTAS 5. THE OFFICER IN CHARGE, SHOSAGAR, P.S- SHEOSAGAR, DISTT- ROHTAS ----------- 2. 6.1.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 12.12.2005 of the District Magistrate in Arms Case No. 150 of 2005 rejecting the arms licence application as affirmed by the Commissioner in Appeal No. 37 of 2006 dated 5.10.2007. It appears that under certain general orders of this Court with regard to pendency of Arms licence applications before the District Magistrate, he published a newspaper advertisement in the form of a questionnaire requiring all pending applicants to submit details. The petitioner is alleged not to have submitted the information, though the petitioner denies the same. Be that as it may, it is apparent that there has been no rejection of the Arms licence application of the petitioner on its merits under the 2 statutory provisions. Let the petitioner furnish the necessary information in terms of the questionnaire published by the District Magistrate whereafter the District Magistrate shall proceed to consider the Arms licence application of the petitioner in accordance with the statutory provisions of the Arms Act and pass final appropriate orders within a maximum period of two months from the date of submission and/or receipt of the relevant information by the petitioner along with a copy of the present order. The impugned orders are accordingly set aside. The writ application is allowed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
