7. I am afraid, none of the judgments relied upon by the petitioner
answer the query raised. I may, notice that recently a Division Bench of this
Court in People for Animals Vs. UOI 180 (2011) DLT 460 has also held
that grant of a licence for acquisition and possession of firearms was only
statutory privilege and not matter of fundamental right under Article 21 of
the Constitution of India; such a licence is materially different from a licence
for manufacture, sale etc. and while latter confers a right to carry on a trade
or business and is a source of earning livelihood, the former is merely a
personal privilege for doing something which without such privilege is
unlawful; grant of such a privilege does not involve the adjudication of the
right of individual nor does it entail civil consequences save that rejection of
an application for grant of licence or cancellation of a licence may become
legally vulnerable if arbitrary or capricious or without application of mind; it
was further held that no citizen has a blanket right to carry firearms and the

application for firearms may be made mostly with the object of protecting
the person or property but which too is mainly the function of the State.
