Samir Ahmed Rafiqahmed Ansari vs The State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court modified the conviction of the appellant under Section 25(1AA) of the Arms Act, 1959 to Section 25(1B)(a) due to lack of evidence for manufacturing prohibited arms. The Court held that possession of a country-made pistol without a license constitutes an offense under Section 3 of the Arms Act, punishable under Section 25(1B)(a). The sentence was modified to the period already undergone, as the appellant had served 1.5 years of imprisonment.
