#License Regulation

Allahabad High Court rules that arms license cancellation under Section 17(3) of the Arms Act requires independent satisfaction of threat to public peace or safety, not just pending criminal charges. The judgment reinforces that administrative actions must be based on substantive evidence, not procedural defaults.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that honorable acquittal in a criminal case cannot be grounds to reject a fresh arms license application, affirming presumption of innocence.
