Riazat Hussain vs Commissioner, Allahabad Division And ... on 24 September, 1974

21. A narrow area of interference in such matters has been indicated in a decision concerning the revocation of arms licence in Riazat Hussain v. Commr. Allahabad Divn. 1975 Cri LJ 654 (All). The action of the authorities in the above circumstances, is unamenable to curial correction by this Court, whether it be the writ jurisdiction or the revisional one. The petition is, therefore, dismissed.

Madho Lal vs Emperor on 20 August, 1908

12. In the early periods of the administration of the Indian Arms Act, 1878, minute attention had been given by the authorities in the implementation of that Act. Attempts at smuggling into the Indian territory arms from foreign lands, had been effectively guarded against. (See Re. Mohomed Ismail Rowther (1912) ILR 35 Mad 596). Even when the owner of a gun had a licence or was an exempted person, the use of the gun by the servant for his own purposes had not been permitted. Those who unauthorisedly handled the arms were effectively prosecuted. Such action of the administrative authorities had been upheld by the High Courts of Allahabad, Calcutta and Madras. (See Madho Lal v. The Emperor (1908) 13 Cal WN 124, Queen-Empress v. Ganga Din (1900) ILR 22 All 118 and Vairavan Servai v. King-Emperor (1924) ILR 47 Mad 438 : (1924) 25 Cri LJ 975. Even fire works using small rockets were taken serious note of, though ultimately adjudged as involving no violation of the Arms Act.

The Queen vs Bommaya Chetti And Ors. on 27 February, 1882

In The Queen v. Bommaya (1882) ILR 5 Mad 26, the Madras High Court observed : "...bisons are notoriously in the habit of injuring crops,..." The question was considered in relation to a gun licence. Those conditions no longer obtain now. Licences cannot be legitimately sought for or obtained under the guise of protecting the food crops in these days and in such areas. The unchecked devastations of the forests have turned what used to be boundless contiguity of greenery into bleeding red patches strewn with tiled buildings and concrete mansions. A deadly weapon to scare the animals or to protect the crops would be totally unnecessary in such areas. Such would be the case in an essentially agricultural area, like Alathur.
