Heard Sri Yadvendra Kumar Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.Tripathi, learned Standing Counsel. 2. Petitioner's arms license was cancelled vide an order dated 7.7.2015 and appeal thereof was also dismissed vide an order dated 29.9.2016. 3. It is a specific case of the petitioner that his arms license was cancelled on a ground that he was involved in a criminal case. Though later on he was granted acquittal. This fact was brought into the notice of authorities, however, still considering the nature of acquittal and certain other informations, impugned orders were passed. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since the impugned order was passed in the year 2016 i.e. a decade ago, therefore, he may be permitted to file a fresh application for arms license since even the restoration of arms license requires a fresh order on basis of a fresh Police Report and further prayed that any observations made in the impugned order may not come in the way if petitioner files a fresh application for arms license. 5. Taking note of above fair submissions, this writ petition is disposed of with an observation that in case petitioner files a fresh application for arms license, same shall be considered by the concern authority in accordance with law, without being influenced with any observations made in the impugned orders and same be decided in accordance with law on basis of a fresh Police Report.
