Heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned Standing counsel for the State respondent.
By means of the present writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent no.2 District Magistrate, Prayagraj to decide the representation dated 16.8.2019 of the petitioner within a stipulated period as fixed by the Court.
It is submitted by learned counsel for petitioner that the petitioner has applied arm licence for the safety of himself and his family, which is still pending since 2019.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merit of the case and with the consent of the parties, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 District Magistrate, Prayagraj to decide the representation dated 16.8.2019 of the petitioner within a period of six months from the date of production of computerized copy of this order.
The concerned Court/Authority/Official shall verify the authenticity of such computerized copy of the order from the official website of High Court Allahabad and shall act accordingly without waiting for submission of the certified copy of this order.
The writ petition is disposed of. Order Date :- 6.1.2021 Akbar
