RAGHUBIR SINGH Vs. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE BADAUN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) M. Katju, J. The petitioners were granted an arm licence in Nagaland for a rifle as is evident from Annexures 1 and 2 to the petition. Their licences were cancelled and now they want to sell their firearm for which a representation was made to the District Magistrate Badaun for permission to sell it vide Annexure 1 to the petition. Since the permission was not granted, this petition has been filed.

(2.) HAVING heard counsel for the parties, I am not inclined to interfere in this matter. It is surprising that the petitioners who are residents of Badaun obtained arms licences from Nagaland. Such a licence is not valid as held by the Court in 1995 ALJ 928 which decision was upheld in Special Appeal No. 657 of 1996, decided on 4-9-96.
