He applied for renewal. Thereupon he received a show cause notice as to why his Arm’s License be not cancelled on the ground that he was involved in crime No. 44 of 2005 on the file of Begumbazar Police Station, Hyderabad. The petitioner submitted a representation stating that he was unjustifiably implicated in the crime and that he is a law abiding citizen. Nevertheless, the 2nd respondent, by the order dated 22-03- 2006, cancelled the Arm’s License No.123/Dabeerpura, which was issued earlier to the petitioner. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner preferred an appeal to the 1st respondent on 10-04-2006 under the provisions of the Arms Act. The petitioner’s grievance is that the said appeal has not yet been disposed of. In the circumstances above, after hearing the learned Government Pleader for Home also, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to dispose of the petitioner’s appeal dated 10-04-2006 expeditiously, in any event within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The reasoned order/decision shall be communicated to the petitioner within the aforesaid time. No costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated:15-06-2006 Pvks/*
