The limitation period for filing an appeal under Section 18 of the Arms Act, 1959 is:

Section 18(1) leaves the period for appeal to be prescribed, and s.18(3) directs that it "shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Limitation Act, 1908". Neither the licensing authority nor the appellate authority fixes the period, and the Act itself sets no one-year limit.

Current law: the Indian Limitation Act, 1908 has been replaced by the Limitation Act, 1963, and under s.8 of the General Clauses Act, 1897 the reference is read as one to the 1963 Act.
