Section 17(3) Arms Act | Mere Pendency of Criminal Case Insufficient for License Cancellation : Allahabad HC
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.
