Chennai,Jun. 3 The Madras High Court today directed the Commissioner of Police to consider afresh AIADMK MLA V P Kalairajan's request for a revolver licence, which was rejected by the Commissioner on the plea that he was involved in three criminal cases.
Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar, who heard the petition of Kalairjan seeking to quash the Commissioner's order denying him the licence, observed that the three cases were registered against the petitioner for his taking part in agitations launched by his party.
"Petitioner being an elected MLA belonging to the Opposition party, cannot be blamed for taking part in the agitations launched by the party to ventilate the grievances of the public. Further no chargesheet is laid in any of the said criminal cases, though the cases were registered on October 13, 2006, May 20, 2007 and June 7, 2007 respectively," the Judge said.
The Judge said that the rejection of his application for the licence on the plea criminal cases were pending against him was unsustainable and the respondent, Commissioner of Police, was required to consider the petitioner's request for a revolver licence for his personal safety. -Agencies
