Is the reason for rejection correct legally? I mean I dont think there is any one year time frame mentioned in the arms act or the arms rules or even any notification?
The reason for rejection has no legal basis. Getting an arms license or getting its area validity increased is not a matter of providing some "valid reason" or "good reason" or "emergency reason", it is a matter of citizen's fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution of India. How? Because of the following:
1) Arms Act 1959 is just a law to regulate arms which are guaranteed as fundamental right by the Constitution of India. The Constitution of India is guaranteeing to us not only the right to self defense, but is also guaranteeing to us the arms as our fundamental right. Arms(includes firearms, ammunition and explosives) are guaranteed Right to Freedom of citizens under Article 19 and Right to Life and Liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. For understanding in detail please read the following links:
a)

b)

2) a) Article 19(1)(d) of the Constitution of India, guarantees to its citizens, the right to move freely throughout the territory of India.
b) Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India, are guaranteeing the right to keep and bear arms.
c) Article 21 of the Constitution of India, guarantees the right to self defense. The Constitution cannot say that self defense has to be done with bare hands only. Thus the right to self defense also includes the right to the tools of self defense.
Keeping the above three Constitutional guarantees of fundamental rights in mind, the Constitution
cannot say that if citizen wants to exercise the fundamental right to move freely throughout the territory of India, then cannot carry his arms which is also his fundamental right and has to do his fundamental right of self defense with his bare hands only.
Because of this fact, please note that the citizen is not under the legal burden to prove or justify, why he needs a license(Constitutional guarantees of RKBA and self defense are already speaking on his behalf) or why wants area validity of license increased(Constitutional guarantees of right to move freely throughout the territory of India, RKBA and self defense are already speaking on his behalf). Rather the legal burden to justify the denial of same is on the State. In other words issue of arms license or increase of its area validity is a rule rather a right and its denial is an exception.
I want to go further and I want some suggestions regarding what can I ask further?
What else do you want to ask? I do not see there is anything more left to be asked.
actually I had given the reminder letters at the DC Office by hand
If you deliver any letter by hand always get a receipt for the same, preferably on photocopy of the same. Else they simply throw the letter in the dustbin and say that they have not received it. Alternately deliver the letter by registered post/ speed post and get its "proof of delivery" from post office.
