Respondent/s ============================================= 3 14.07.2011 The petitioner has filed the present writ application for quashing the order dated 04.06.2007 passed in Arms Appeal No. 368 of 2007, whereby the Divisional Commissioner, Patna Division, Patna dismissed the Arms Appeal of the petitioner on the ground of limitation alone. The prayer has also been made for quashing of the order dated 05.09.2006 passed in Arms Case No. 932/06, whereby the District Magistrate, Rohtas, Sasaram dismissed the claim of the petitioner for grant of license of DBBL gun, since the old grandfather of the petitioner is the licensee. Considering the fact that the Divisional Commissioner dismissed the appeal merely on the ground of limitation, since, the filing of appeal was delayed by six months, though, it appears from the Appellate Order that due to death of the grandmother of the petitioner, the appeal could not be filed within time.The appellate order dated 04.06.2007 passed in Arms Appeal No. 368/07 as contained in Annexure-10 is hereby quashed. The petitioner is permitted to file an appeal before the Additional Commissioner, Patna along with limitation petition with the supporting documents when it is expected that the Divisional Commissioner will consider the limitation petition and will try to decide the appeal on merits. With the above observation, this writ application is disposed off. Amrendra Kumar/- (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
