MUMBAI: Hearing a plea by an Ulhasnagar resident to direct the home minister to hear his appeal against the rejection of a firearm licence by the Thane police commissioner, the Bombay high court on Friday pointed out that there was no such minister in the state.
“What is the point in passing an order which cannot be implemented? There has to be a minister,” remarked Justice Revati Mohite-Dere and Justice Sharmila Deshmukh in a lighter vein. They were hearing an application by advocate Amritpal Singh Khalsa.
