     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
17.02.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C).No.3259 OF 2021(F)

                                2



                             JUDGMENT

Dated this the 17th day of February 2021

The petitioner is aggrieved by the delay in

passing orders on Ext.P4 application for renewal

of Arms license. It is stated that the

petitioner's Arms license expired on 04.10.2020.

Even though Ext.P4 application was submitted as

early as on 24.08.2020 and a report has been

received from the Village Officer on 09.10.2020,

so far, orders are not passed on the same.

2. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of

with a direction to the 1st respondent to pass

orders on Ext.P4 application for renewal, after

affording an opportunity of hearing to the

petitioner, within a period of two months from

the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.
