THE acting Commissioner of Police has been ordered to decide on two firearm user's licence (FUL) applications in separate cases filed by two businessmen.

Justices Marissa Robertson and Devindra Rampersad made the orders on February 24 and last week, respectively. They declared there was an unreasonable delay in deciding both applications in breach of the commissioner’s statutory duty.

Rampersad ordered the acting commissioner to decide by April 30, while Robertson ordered a decision by June 6.
