Vide this order, the appeal filed by the petitioner against the order of Licensing Authority rejecting the application of the petitioner for grant of arms license was dismissed. The petitioner prayed that the arm is required for his own protection. The case of the petitioner was processed by the Licensing Authority and as required the report from the local police was called. It was reported that there was a case against him under Sections Cr.P.C pending which was subsequently closed on 20.9.2007 with a warning given to the petitioner to be careful in future. The petitioner has also filed two cases being FIR No.408 of 2006 and FIR No.283 of 2008 Police Station Sakarpur. The accused persons were reported to be his neighbours and known to him. It was also reported by the Licensing Authority that the case of the petitioner was got assessed through Special Cell twice and it was reported that there was no threat being extended to him. The special allegation of his received threats on i-k,.

12.4.2008 on his mobile from another mobile and landline were g verified and it was revealed that the calls alleged to have been made from the mobile number on 12.4.2008 were not made. On enquiry, it was also revealed that the said mobile phone from which the calls were made existed in the name of Smt. Meena Devi who had left the place of her residence about 5 years back. Regarding the landline number, it was reported that the same was a PCO run by one person who is well known to the petitioner. The Appellate Authority also,got a report from the local police to verify the same and it came to be revealed that the criminal cases were registered at the behest of the petitioner and all these were his personal matters and have resulted on account of personal enmity of the petitioner. In view of foregoing facts, I do not find any perversity or illegality in the impugned order. The petition is hereby dismissed being meritless. M.L. MEHTAJ NOVEMBER 14, 2011 rd
