Under the first proviso to Section 15(1) of the Arms Act, 1959, a licence under Section 3 may be granted for a shorter period in which of the following situations?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The first proviso to s.15(1) allows a shorter period "if the person by whom the licence is required so desires or if the licensing authority for reasons to be recorded in writing considers" that it should be shorter. A police recommendation or a Central Government direction is not the trigger, and the applicant's age is not mentioned.
