Arms Act | Prohibition On Buttondar Knife Applies Only If Knife Was For 'Manufacture, Sale Or Possession For Sale Or Test' : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has clarified that the prohibition on the possession of a buttondar knife under the Arms Act applies only if the knife is intended for manufacture, sale, or possession for sale, or for testing purposes. The case involved the confiscation of such knives under the assumption that they were covered by the Act. The Court ruled that the mere possession of the knife, without the intention to engage in commercial activities or testing, does not constitute an offense under the Act. This decision clarifies the scope of the law and limits its application to specific circumstances.
