Allahabad High Court
The Allahabad High Court has halted the arrest of BJP MLA Dara Singh Chauhan, providing significant relief to him. The court has imposed a stay on Dara Singh Chauhan’s arrest until July 30th. This stay comes in response to an FIR filed against Dara Singh Chauhan during the 2022 assembly elections.
