HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUDESH BANSAL Order 19/03/2025
1. Although, the matter was listed in “Orders” category, however, with consent of counsel for petitioner, the matter has been heard finally on merits.

4. This Court is of the considered opinion that both the Authorities have exercised their jurisdiction within the parameters of law and in accordance with the provisions of Arms Act, while denying renewal of arms license. This Court does not find any illegality, perversity much less jurisdictional error in the impugned orders, warranting interference by this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
5. Accordingly, the writ petition is devoid of merits and same is hereby dismissed. However, it is made clear that this Order shall not preclude the petitioner from applying for issuance of arms license afresh, in changed circumstances.
6. Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of.
