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.

Dara Singh Chauhan contested as a candidate from the Ghosi assembly constituency for 2022 assembly elections representing Samajwadi Party.
