SAMAR SINGH Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE fire arms licence of the petitioner has been placed under suspension vide order dated 29.5.2006. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner has filed this writ petition.

(2.) I have heard Sri P. V. Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents. With the consent of the learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is being disposed of at this stage without calling for a counter-affidavit.

(3.) IN the present case, the notice itself is misconceived as even if the ground mentioned in the notice is taken to be correct then too the licence of the petitioner cannot be cancelled as the same is not a ground contemplated in law for cancellation or suspension of the arms licence. As such the order of suspension as well as the proceedings for cancellation in pursuance thereof, are both liable to be set aside.
