A1) At the time of issuance of fresh Arms License, a quota cartridges of 25/50 is allotted to all license holder, as per existing norm in accordance with S.O. No. 264.
I believe use of the word NORM belies some weakness of argument here.

How and when did this norm come to exist and does this have any legal/judicial sanction? Was this 'norm' notified by the Central Government vide a notification in the Official Gazette (is this not a legal prerequisite according to sec 44 of arms act)?

How is this norm justified in terms of legal background of Arms Act and lawful rights of a gun permit holder granted by it? Can norms or conventions be a valid justification to curtail laws, rights and privileges guaranteed by legislation and should norms take precedent over acts?

What is logical and scientific reasoning behind arriving at this norm let alone discuss if this quota is sufficient or not?

Which is why I'm seeking a copy of this document. We can't question the logic behind a policy but we sure as hell can and will question the legality of it.
