The Delhi High Court has quashed an FIR against a man who was apprehended at the Delhi airport with 20 live cartridges while he was to board a flight to Ahmedabad.
A Vacation Bench of Justice Vibhu Bakhru noted that in several cases, the court has held that unconscious possession would not attract the rigours of the Arms Act.
Adhiraj Singh Yadav had moved the court, seeking to quash the FIR registered in April last after the live cartridges were recovered from his hand baggage. Mr. Yadav said he is an engineering student and had appeared for Air Force Common Admission Test.
