Thanking you sir, But I clearly not understood from link descripttion, Actually my father had licence for Winchester rifle arm, he died in 2005 at that time I am 15 year old so our family member go to police and deposit rifle and sell to other licence Holder with legal, so now I am liable, eligible to take arm licence on the base of my inherited heirloom act?

A rifle is an asset and a legal heir may inherit the rights for that asset. 

License is given individually depending on the individual necessity and the individual must convince the licensing authority.

If the rifle as an asset and as a family trophy is to be retained, prior permission is required for keeping the weapon.

Its use for self-defense is a separate issue.

When the rifle is not in your possession, not even deposited with police but sold to another license holder, the asset is not in your possession.

There is no inheritance for a license, and authorities decide the necessity of having such rifle considering the individual necessity of self-defense and the license is individual and can never be inherited.

Because the father is having a license, a son can not claim such a license as a right, as a licence can not be inherited. like share in an individually acquired asset.

1. Make a try and make application to the competent authority, with all the relevant supporting available documents.

2. Appear before the authority and explain your necessity alongwith the law.  IF the authority accepts and grants you transfer of license, THEN you can buy the permissible gun of your choice.
