Indians For Guns

While going through the The Arms Act , 1962 , a particular thing caught my eye . Since I was unable to get an answer , I am posting a query here .

I am quoting a portion of the Chapter III , Section 13 (2)[ Grant of Licenses ]

On receipt of an application , the licencing authority shall call for the report of the officer in charge of the nearest police station on that application , and such officer shall send his report within the prescribed time .

Now , my query is , what is the prescribed time given to the police officer to send his report on the applicant to the Licensing Authority .

Also , is there any time limit within which the Licensing Authority has to inform the applicant whether his License was granted or Refused ?

And finally , on what matters does the police officer given his report to the Licensing Authority , regarding the applicant ?

F-N-Five-Seven

what is the prescribed time given to the police officer to send his report on the applicant to the Licensing Authority

60days

time limit within which the Licensing Authority has to inform the applicant whether his License was granted or Refused ?

i've got no idea on that, may be our friends will help us understand on this.

what matters does the police officer given his report to the Licensing Authority , regarding the applicant ?

Criminal cases, activities registered on the applicant from the concerned police station limits and sometime no case registered but any thing suspicious will get a negative report.
