Mohammad Jamal Mohammad Yunus, a private bodyguard, was deprived of his licensed revolver since 2012 after police seized it in a criminal case. Despite his acquittal in 2013, the weapon remained with authorities, affecting his livelihood. The Supreme Court ruled that the revolver must be returned within eight weeks, stating that pending appeals cannot justify indefinite retention, subject to Arms Act compliance.
