Anirudh Singh Katoch vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the detention of the appellant's firearms by the Additional Commissioner of Customs was unjustified under the Arms Act, 1959 and the Transfer of Residence Rules. The Court established that an Indian citizen transferring residence is entitled to bring personal firearms provided they hold valid Indian licenses, and that the customs authorities cannot arbitrarily limit this right. The Court directed the release of the detained firearms, emphasizing the need for adherence to the law and proper procedures in such matters.
