IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5879 of 2011 Lalita Devi Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2 12.7.2011 KHAN The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent authorities to grant fire arm licence in her favour. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the application for grant of arms licence of the petitioner is pending since January, 2009. The petitioner and her husband are registered contractors and now and then they get a demand to pay extortion money. The petitioner needs an arm licence for her protection as well as protection of her family. Without going into the merit of this case, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the licensing authority to dispose of the application of the petitioner for grant of arms licence within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
