THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH HOME SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, BUXAR,----RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 2.2.2009 It is the assertion of the petitioner that his application for extending the area of validity of the arms licence is pending before respondent No.2, the District Magistrate, Buxar since 8.2.2007 and his grievance is that neither the area of validity of the arms licence has been extended nor declined. Having heard Mr. Dharmendra Kumar Sinha, for the petitioner, Assistant Counsel to Government Advocate No.V, for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient that respondent no.2 aforesaid takes decision on the application of the petitioner, if already not taken, within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. I direct accordingly. It is made clear that I have not expressed any opinion in regard to the claim - 2 - made by the petitioner and that shall be decided by respondent no.2 in accordance with law. In order to facilitate earlier decision, petitioner alongwith a copy of this order shall annex the application filed by him earlier and such other documents deem necessary. Application stands disposed off with the direction aforesaid. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad,ACJ.) A.kumar
