Arms licence

Threat or no threat to life is immaterial to Arms Act 1959. It is just a figment of wild imagination created by the babus of licensing authority. Just make your lawyer read the following links, he will understand what legal points need to be mentioned in the writ in High Court.

Security thread has to be got assessed by the concerned police authorities and if they have reached to the conclusion that you do not have any threat to life, arms license can be denied to you.

I respectfully disagree with Adv. Makkad Ji. Threat or no threat is immaterial, there are plenty of High Court judgments about this. Legal role of Police is limited to furnishing criminal records they have for the arms license applicant. Anything more they mention is immaterial, police has no jurisdiction beyond furnishing criminal records with them.

Mayur Joshi, yes the gun is family heirloom, in other words it also includes your right to property. Your rights cannot be unreasonably denied. As said earlier, make your lawyer to very carefully go through the links I have given in my first post in this thread, they have plenty of legal points, including High Court and Supreme Court judgments. He will understand and do what needs to be done. If he has any confusion, he can feel free to PM me and discuss the matter in privacy.
