Greeting Sir/Maa'm

A Nepali friend of mine has a 12 bore Gun License owned by his father . His father passed away last year and now he wants to inherit the gun license on his name. He is qualified to own the Gun License as he has attained the required age and he has clean police records ,no criminal or violence record.

I have been through the Arms and Ammunition ACT of Nepal, I couldn't find any regulations, rules about the procedures of inheriting the gun license. It mostly talks about getting a license ,renewing it, depositing ,etc.

He went to his local administration office as well to understand the procedures but they too are not very clear. They told his that he is not allowed to do it, he have to deposit back. The license can not be inherited.

please en-light me on the rules, regulations or any procedures out there for inheriting the gun license. Thank you
