License being delayed purposely

[Lovepreetsandhu]

I am aged age 20 belong from Rajasthan, I am an aspiring shooter and a member of National Rifle Association of Indian since 2015. I had applied for my arms licence under the category of taget sports completing all my documents regarding my membership with the Association , various qualifications certificate from Himachal State Rifle Association.
It has been more then 2 month the clerk hasn’t send my file for police verification So I had reported this to the SDM Sub Divisional Magistrate but he was rude with me and didn’t listen to my cause.
Later I meet the DM District Magistrate he called the clerk and asksd him to take action for my file. The next day the clerk refused to send my file stating you meet the DM get your work done from the DM.
What action shall I take in such a matter. Seeking for some help.

Send reminders through register post

Find a way to make him regret what he said, next time ask him again with some kind of secret video recorder, and then show the clip to DM. After your works done upload it to youtube.

Registered post is one way to deal with too as Rovor says, but may not be the effective way.

One way is to file an RTI, it might take a month to get reply and get the work moving. at the least you can have it as proof to fight from judiciary point.

Try getting another appointment with the DM to discuss what the delay is for, instead of approaching the clerk. DM is the final authority to sign your AL, DM has to oblige time line (which most dont).

Good luck.

1. Patience is the key. Do not get into any kind of ego clash with anybody.

2. You have submitted the application to district magistrate. Your point of contact is district magistrate. What some clerk does or does not do in his office, it is not your problem. It is the problem of district magistrate. You do not have to chase clerks or run here and there.

3. Since the district magistrate is co-operative, co-operate with him, give him the time he desires.

4. If everything fails or there is unreasonable delay, you may have to contact a lawyer dealing in civil writ related matters in High Court. You may show him this click here He will understand what needs to be done.

Dear Lovepreet,

As far as I know due to fake arms license scam government passed orders in march 2018 to stop new arms license in some cities in Jaipur like ( jodhpur,Ajmer,pali,hanumangarh ganganagar, abhohar,didwana, nagaur,and some other cities or government give license in other situation like applicant have serious life threat or actual protection of wild animals but in case of self protection or for sports reason being there are so many cases caught in abhoher and ganganagar cities where youth applied arms license basis on sports and got NPB ( NON prohibited bore) weapons and involve in other activities, so I Request you to take a reference or recommendation letter from range in-charge or association secretary if you know them well , in case police denied to give you license you can ask the reason through RTI , but as you told they process you file for verification so lets wait for some time because maximum tat of verification is 90 days , one more thing I want to suggest you get in touch with 2-3 persons in local police station they will help you.

Rest any advice you required please feel free to ask me.

Dear Lovepreet,

forget to tell you one more thing your age is 20 its comes under minor category so you have to wait till age of 21 years , after that you will get the license , in terms of age , you will not get the license at age of 20 years so try next year.
