Discussion
Which section of The Arms Act, 1959 deals with the Power to restrict or prohibit transport of arms ?
Answer: A
The power to restrict or prohibit transport of arms is in Section 12 of the Arms Act.
Section 12 lets the Central Government, by notification, regulate or prohibit the transport of any arms or ammunition, either generally or in a specified area, to the extent it considers necessary in the public interest.
Section 13 deals with the grant of licences, section 14 with the refusal of licences, and section 18 with appeals against orders of the licensing authority. None of them confers the power over transport.
