Under Section 19 of the Arms Act, 1959, which of the following is mandatory before seizing arms or ammunition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 19(2) requires failure or refusal to produce a licence or show lawful entitlement and the officer's finding that seizure is "necessary". Licence absence alone does not negate an otherwise established statutory entitlement; no prior warning or licensing-authority approval is specified.
