N.C.T. Of Delhi & Anr vs Umesh Kumar

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to restore Umesh Kumar's arms license, which had been cancelled under Section 17(3) of the Arms Act, 1959 due to his involvement in serious criminal charges. The Court emphasized that following his acquittal, the grounds for cancellation no longer existed, referencing Clause 7 of Section 17 which states that revocation becomes void upon acquittal. The Court held that the pending appeal against the acquittal does not affect the restoration of the license, affirming the High Court's ruling.
