"It is thus, indubitable that the right of a citizen to protect himself, his family
and property are integral part of right to life guaranteed by Article 21 of the
Constitution, subject to the limitations contained therein. In asserting such a right,
every citizen has a right to apply for an arms licence. While considering such
application, the licensing authority shall not only keep in view the statutory
provisions of the Act, but also the constitutional parameters relating to the
applicant’s fundamental right to life." #pdf
