SulDject;- Importation of prohibited "bore weapons.
bir,
I am directed to say that the government of -
India have hitherto "been allowing the importation of
prcbil)ited "bore weapons in certain individual selected
cases. They are now advised that in view of rule
7( 1)(a) of the Arms Pailes, 1924, which imposes an
absolute "ban on the importation of prohibited "bore
weapons and leaves no discretion to the Central
Government to relax the rules, permission to import
such "weapons cannot "be granted, aiiven apart from
this legal objection, the need for checking the
entry of weapons of prohibited bores is the greater
in war time and it is considered that the rule should
be strictly worked. Applications for such per
mission should not, therefore, be forwarded to the
Government of Indij
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
NS.

Deputy Secretary to the
Government of India.
