The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 15.09.2008 (Annexure P4) vide which he has been denied THE Arms License by the District Magistrate, Ludhiana. Suffice it to mention here that the petitioner is apprehending risk to life and liberty at the hands of respondents No.6&7. (2). Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the petitioner is alleged to be involved in several cases, I am of the considered view that no direction to issue any Arms License to him can be issued at this stage. (3). Dismissed. (4). However, this order shall not preclude the petitioner to apply for the Arms License in case he is exonerated of the allegations.
