The Court further observed that when discretion is conferred on a public authority to grant or refuse or revoke the license to hold arm, the Licensing Authority is the best person to assess and understand and form an opinion, whether person is unfit to possess license, therefore, scope of judicial review is limited and the Court has to just consider whether there is any irrelevant or extraneous factor considered by the authority concerned or it ignored any relevant or valid points.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p   ><span  >In the case at hand, petitioner\u2019s fire arm license was cancelled on the ground that two criminal cases are registered against under different provisions of Penal Code, 1860 and the Act which are grave and serious in nature. <i>Atul Kumar Tiwari v.
