Section 30 Arms Act 1959 | Prima Facie Case of Misuse Justifies Licence Cancellation Pending Trial : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that when a prima facie case of firearm misuse is established under Section 30 of the Arms Act - such as harsh firing during a public event - the licensing authority may cancel the licence even before trial concludes. This sets a critical precedent for public safety over individual possession rights during ongoing criminal proceedings.
