As per latest report from New Delhi sources it was stated that a person does not have a fundamental right to keep weapons, the Delhi High Court has said. Rejecting a private company official's plea for an arms license, the high court said people keep weapons more for "showing off" and as a status symbol than for self-defense. The police and the Delhi lieutenant governor had also denied arms license to the applicant before the matter reached court.



Meanwhile when upholding the decisions of the licensing authority and the lieutenant governor, Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said, "We are not living in a lawless society where individuals have to acquire or hold arms to protect them."

Moreover the court said the object of the Arms Act was to ensure that weapons are available to people for self-defense, but it "does not mean that every individual should be given a license". "The grant of arms license is a privilege conferred by the [Arms] Act. There is no fundamental right of an individual to hold an arm".
