Mere threat perception doesn’t give right to demand arms licence: Allahabad High Court

What Happened

The Allahabad High Court ruled that arms licences are discretionary, not a right. Justice Vinod Diwakar dismissed a plea denying firearm licence to an applicant. The court stated that mere perceived threats or victim status in criminal cases do not automatically entitle someone to a firearm licence. The competent authority must satisfy conditions before granting licences.
