Thanks for prompt reply Abhijeet , anyway i personally feel that in case some type of enquiry is carried out at railwaystation the authorised person should be capable enough to explain the facts as licence is valied for kolkata only but supported by order issued by licencing authority to carry it to kanpur and further he is authorised by licence to carry revolver supported by authority letter provided by licence. REALLY tough one if he gets into mess. James....
