October, 2009, had also forwarded his recommendation to the respondent no.2 for issuance of arms license in respect of required arms. Thereafter, the petitioner requested the respondent no.2 to provide requisite information regarding further progress of his application of arms licence by filing representations dated 17th November, 2018 and 14th December, 2018. However, the respondent no.2 neither replied the representation of the petitioner nor granted arms licence to the petitioner and as such he preferred a writ petition being W.P.(C) No.642 of 2019 which was disposed of by a Bench of this Court vide order dated 27th September, 2019 directing the respondent no.2 to decide the petitioner’s application for grant of an arms licence, unless already decided, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order by taking a decision in accordance with law. Thereafter, the petitioner filed a fresh application for grant of arms licence in respect of revolver/pistol on 21st October, 2019 as also filed application dated 23rd October, 2019 before the respondent no.2 enclosing a copy of order dated 27th September, 2019 passed in the aforesaid writ petition, however, nothing was done. Again a reminder vide letter dated 3rd January, 2020 was filed before the respondent no.2, however, the same remained un-responded. Hence, the petitioner filed a Contempt Case (Civil) No.107 of 2020 before this Court and thereafter the respondentauthority sent a letter to the petitioner vide memo no.115 dated 7th February, 2020 mentioning inter alia that his application for grant of arms licence stood rejected in view of the report submitted by the respondent no.3 vide letter no.374/Go.(L) dated 21st October, 2019. The petitioner has come to know that the respondent no.3 had mentioned in his report that there was no immediate danger to the life and property of the petitioner as such no recommendation could be made for issuance of arms license. Hence, the petitioner has preferred the present writ petition.
