JUDGMENT

¶144

Petitioners in all these cases are

¶145

holders of licensed fire arms. Their grievance is that the respective Station House Officers are directing them to

¶146

surrender the fire arms in view of the impending election to the Legislative Assembly. In some cases it is stated that the fire arms, which were deposited on the basis of the directions issued just before the election to the local body are not returned so far and the police officers are retaining the same stating that it has to remain deposited till the election to the Legislative Assembly is over.

¶147

2. In certain districts, similarly situated persons had already approached this

¶148

Court and W.P.(C) Nos.3525 and 3727 of 2021

¶149

WP(C).Nos.2463, 2467, 2470, 6394, 6432 & 6675 of 2021

¶150

¶151

was disposed of by judgment dated 18.02.2021 (Ext.P5, produced along with W.P.(C) Nos.6432 and 6394/2021). In the judgment, this Court had already directed the respondents that such directions to deposit the licensed arms shall not be issued and the Circular issued by the Election Commission on 01.09.2009 has to be followed and that it is for the licensing authority to issue notice to the licensee, in the event of a finding arrived at by the Screening Committee to be constituted in accordance with the provisions contained in clause 3.11 of the said Circular, directing the licensee to deposit the fire arm. Seeing that the directions to deposit the licensed fire arms were issued to petitioners without any notice issued to them by the licensing authority and that not even a Screening

¶152

WP(C).Nos.2463, 2467, 2470, 6394, 6432 & 6675 of 2021

¶153

¶154

Committee was constituted in accordance with clause 3.11 of the Circular dated 01.09.2009 issued by the Election Commission of India, this Court directed the respective Station House Officers to release the fire arms deposited with them.

¶155

3. Seeing that such instances are recurring in even in the districts from

¶156

which writ petitions were already filed, and judgment was rendered, the learned Government Pleader was directed to get instruction from the State Police Chief and the Commissioner for Land Revenue, as to why the police officers are collecting the licensed arms, despite the directions in a series of judgments of this Court in Saji Kuriachan v. District Collector, Ernakulam [2011 (1) KLT 484], Binesh G. Vadath v. District Collector [2011 (1) KHC 214],

¶159

Joseph v. District Collector [2019 (1) KLT

¶160

1034], etc.

¶161

4. The learned Government Pleader submits that the State Police Chief has thereupon issued letter dated 15.03.2021 directing all the District Police Chief across the State to instruct the respective officers under them to desist from requiring deposit of fire arms and to strictly abide by the Circular issued on 01.09.2009 of the Election Commission of India.

¶162

5. In the light of the aforesaid directions issued by the State Police Chief, all these writ petitions are disposed of. In case any of the petitioners have already deposited their fire arms with the respective police stations or the armories, petitioners would be free to get those fire

¶163

arms released and the respective Station

¶164

WP(C).Nos.2463, 2467, 2470, 6394, 6432 & 6675 of 2021

¶165

¶166

House Officers shall see that the same is released to the petitioners, within a period of three days from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.

¶167

The learned Government Pleader points out that in several of the cases, the licensees are depositing their fire arms on their own, even in the absence of any orders from the Station House Officers. In case, any such deposit is made even in the absence of such directions, those petitioners will also be free to get their licensed arms
