The rule of renewal under Section 15(3) of the Arms Act, 1959 is subject to which qualification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 15(3) makes every licence renewable for its original period "unless the licensing authority for reasons to be recorded in writing otherwise decides in any case". Ownership of property, a police recommendation and the fee are not the qualification, and s.14(2) forbids refusal merely for want of property.
