Check Arms Act. Take a copy of the act and present it to them. If the still refuse, have the reasons in writing or go for RTI and take them to court. You are bound to be granted one.

Under Section 3 (1) of the Arms Act, 1959 no person can acquire or possess or carry any firearms or ammunition unless he holds in this behalf a license issued in accordance with the provisions of the Arms Act and the rules made thereunder. Section 3(2) permits a person to acquire, have in his possession or carry at any time not more than three firearms.

Best-
Vikram

Dear patelia hemant d

If you search the forum you will find about 18 judgement's given by Hon. High Courts on this subject. They may be more but my knowledge is limited to just about 18 of them. Pl. find attached a judgement clearing the way for 3 weapons.

Send them RTIs also, frame very specific questions and ask for certified copies of documents

sample questions could be

a) Please provide the number of firearms license holders in the district and the number of firearms owned by each license holder?
b) Please provide certified copies of any rules and regulations that outline the procedures to be followed to add a additional weapons to a license

OR

a) Please provide certified copies of any rules and regulations restricting an individual from owning more than one firearm.

They most likely won't reply to these or send vague replies, which you should appeal against.

If you have filed a writ in the high court, then the best advice i can give you is to take print outs of the relevant sections of the arms act and rules. Also the relevant judgements. Take them to a lawyer who will help you frame out a coherent case and will be able to do all the paperwork and running around in he court.

Application was rejected on what grounds? Filed the writ on what grounds? Is your lawyer aware that arms are fundamental right under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India? There are many High Court judgements mentioned in this forum, please use the search box in the upper right hand corner. You may also read these two threads:

Games in state and national both.In Jump Rope competition my team is champion for
the last four years.

According to collector and deputy sachiv our state is safe you don't need
other arms . State has given you a licence for .22 rifle of your interest .
