L.S.US.Q.NO.2363 FOR 04.08.2015

(b):	Data regarding crimes committed by illegal arms exclusively is not centrally maintained.  A list indicating the cases reported, cases charge sheeted, cases convicted, persons charge sheeted and person convicted for violation of Arms Act, 1959 during 2012-2014 is attached at **Annexure- A.** Such data is maintained on calendar year basis.

Year-wise and state-wise total number of illegal weapons seized/confiscated and arrests made during 2012 - 2015(up to June) is at **Annexure-B.**

(c):	The Government has not made any estimate of the total number of such unlicensed/illegal arms in the country.

The compliance of various provisions of the Arms Act is the responsibility of all concerned in particular the State Governments/UTs. There are provisions under the Arms Act to take punitive action against those who violate the Act. Further, Central Government wherever considered necessary issues directions to the State Government/UTs for strict compliance of the Arms Act. The Act has elaborate provisions, under Section 19 to 25 to curb illegal trade in arms.  In addition to the State Police Authorities, Personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces have also been empowered to search and seize arms, illegally held/traded by any person.
