    The High Court partially allowed the writ petition, quashing the District Magistrate's rejection of the petitioner's arms license application for rifle shooting practice. The court found the petitioner qualified as a sports person selected for state-level competition with positive police inspector recommendation, but held the authorities failed to provide opportunity to cure documentary deficiencies before rejection. The matter was remanded to the District Magistrate for reconsideration within two months, allowing the petitioner to submit required documents per Arms Act provisions.
