IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16745 of 2009 1. VIKASH KUMAR S/O LATE DASHARATH PANDEY R/O MOH MAUNA BRAMHAN TOLI, P.O.P.S. CHAPRA, DISTT- SARAN Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE SARAN, P.O. DISTT- CHAPRA 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRAE (ARM LICENSING AUTHORITY) CHAPRA, P.O. CHAPRA, DISTT- SARAN ----------- 02. 03.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 2.9.2009 rejecting his application for grant of Arms license. The refusal of an application to grant an Arms license is regulated by Section 14 of the Arms Act. The application can be rejected on only one of the ground mentioned therein and not by exercise of statutory powers going beyond the limits of the power conferred itself. The order dated 2.9.2009 states that the petitioner had failed to satisfy the licensing authority of any threat perception to him. If that be the ground, the refusal to grant license is clearly beyond the statutory restrictions in Section 14 of the Arms Act. The order dated 2.9.2009 is set aside. The application stands allowed.
