Another Case of Police Excess - 4 Arms License Holders Booked for Being Unable to Produce Empty Shells!

[pgupta]

The Arms Rules, 2016 has no provisions whatsoever to deposit used ammunition cases. The state government has no powers to notify any rules in the Arms Act or Rules as it comes under Union/Central list and protected specifically under Article 246 of the constitution of India. No other state has this used ammunition case requirement, except the state of UP and it violates the right to equality - Article 14-18 of the Constitution of India.

Please tell this to the JCP licensing and see your license vanish in thin air. Only rule in India is that which is decided by the Authority in seat. They know very well how long a court case will take and besides they also have the power to book you on charges that they deem fit.
