The State of Bihar 2. District Magistrate, Saran. Respondents. ----------- 2/ 19-01-2009 The stand of the petitioner is that he filed application for grant of arms licence which was registered as Case No.60 of 2001 and his grievance is that till date neither the licence has been granted nor refused.Further assertion of the petitioner is that the Superintendent of Police, Chapra by his communication dated 28.05.2002 addressed to the District Magistrate, had recommended for grant of licence but it has not been granted. Having heard Md. Zeauddin for the petitioner , JC to G.A.7 for the State and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient that respondent no.2, District Magistrate, Saran, takes final decision in the matter, if already not taken, within six 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 entitlement of the petitioner to get the licence and that shall be decided by respondent no.2 in accordance with law. Application stands disposed off with the aforesaid observation. BTiwary/ ( Chandramauli Kr. Prasad, A.C.J.)
