    CWJC/905/2025 Summary: The Patna High Court set aside the District Magistrate's rejection (Memo 3598, dated 17.10.2023) and the Commissioner's appellate order (dated 19.11.2024) denying Satyendra Prasad's firearms license application. The Court found that the authorities failed to properly consider the petitioner's threat perception claim and lacked reasoning in their orders. The District Magistrate was directed to adjudicate the petitioner's original application (filed 23.06.2022) within six weeks, holding that threat perception alone suffices for license consideration without requiring proof of an overt act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
