For facility of reference and convenience, observations and recommendations of the Committee have been printed in bold letters in the body of the Report. M. Venkaiah Naidu Chairman Department-related Parliamentary 25 April 2011/New Delhi Standing Committee on Home Affairs (iii) CHAPTER- I Background 1.0 The Arms (Amendment) Bill, 2010 seeks to amend the procedure for grant of licence for the acquisition, transfer of arms and ammunition to make the same more specific. All matters pertaining to arms and ammunition such as acquisition, possession, manufacture, sale, import, export and transport are governed by the Arms Act, 1959 and the rules framed thereunder namely, the Arms Rules 1962, both of which came into force on 1st October, 1962. The Arms Act, 1959 and Arms Rules, 1962 contain provisions for acquisition and possession of firearms by individuals, and for manufacture, sale, transportation, import and export etc. of firearms and ammunition. The Arms Act, 1959 and rules made thereunder also make provisions for punishment for contravention of the provisions of the Act. 1.1 The background note on the Arms (Amendment) Bill, 2010, as furnished by the Ministry of Home Affairs, explains that under the existing provisions, it is compulsory to obtain, under section 3 of the Arms Act, 1959, a license for acquisition and possession of fire arms and ammunition. Section 13 of the Arms Act, 1959, inter-alia, lays down the procedure for grant of such licences which requires the licencing authority to call for the report of the officer-in-charge of the nearest police station on the application for grant of such license. Such police officer is required to send the report within the prescribed time. After making such enquiry as the licensing authority may consider necessary and on receipt of report from the officer-in-charge of the nearest police station, the licencing authority may grant the licence or refuse to grant the same. However, the proviso to sub-section (2A) of section 13 of the aforesaid Act empowers the licensing authority to grant an arms licence where the report of the police authorities has not been received within the prescribed time. 1.2 The Statement of Objects and Reasons of the Arms (Amendment) Bill, 2010 spells out the Government’s justification for making amendment in the existing provisions for grant of license for acquisition and possession of fire arms and ammunition, which is as under:- “Proliferation of arms and ammunition, whether licenced or not, in the country disrupt the social order and development, vitiate the law and order situation, directly contributes towards lethality of violent acts, and needs to be curbed. It is, thus, imperative to ensure that arms licenses are issued to the bonafide persons by the licensing authority concerned after due verification of their antecedents by the police authority concerned.” 1.3 According to the Government, in view of the above mentioned reasons, it has become necessary to modify the procedure for grant of license for the acquisition, transfer of arms and ammunition, and make the procedure more specific. CHAPTER- II Arms, Firearms and Ammunitions 2.0 The Committee has had occasion to discuss at length issues concerning the Arms and Ammunition Policy of the Government in its sittings held on 7th January, 9th February, 4th and 23rd March, 22nd April, 28th May and 11th June 2010.
