Vineet, no manufacturer is allowed to import complete firearms for sale . However ,as the Delhi High court has held, license to manufacture also means license to assemble. If parts are imported and then assembled into a pistol in India, then that pistol has not been proof tested anywhere. Hence the need for proof testing as per law.

They were missing a license to proof test. That the pistols were assembled from parts imported instead of manufactured in India was not the reason why the MHA issued a letter ordering the already sold pistols to be taken back/confiscated. Lack of proof testing was.
Thats what I wrote, in this respective subject I had very deeply studied and read the real issue which I have posted a detailed reply in other post which explains all things which went wrong with the CMPTL, I had come across a person who uses glock and I doubt he has surrendered his glock as mentioned in the MHA orders which stated that all the units sold of glocks be deposited in the state treasury .

I am travelling and will talk to him and let you know if he has returned the weapon or not.

Proof testing is not that big a task. More than ten private handguns manufacturing companies are doing it or getting it done in India then why not CMT can do it.

I don't know how the others are doing it and why CMTPL can't but if you want to do a proper job of proof testing ,it is not that simple nor is the equipment cheap.
