Section 17(10) of the Arms Act, 1959 mandates that on suspension or revocation of a licence:

Section 17(10) provides that on suspension or revocation "the holder thereof shall without delay surrender the licence to the authority by whom it has been suspended or revoked" or to another authority named in the order. There is no grace period, and an appeal does not postpone surrender unless the appellate authority directs otherwise under s.18(6).
