The Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High Court has ordered a stay on punitive action in the FIR lodged at Kuchera police station, Nagaur, providing temporary relief to MP Hanuman Beniwal.
The Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High Court issued an interim order on Thursday, staying any punitive measures in the criminal case registered against Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Hanuman Beniwal, at the Kuchera police station in Nagaur district. The court's relief comes after the MP approached the bench seeking protection from the FIR, which alleged unspecified wrongdoing.
The order does not dismiss the FIR but merely suspends further action until the matter is fully examined. Legal experts note that such interim relief is common in high‑profile cases to preserve the status quo while the parties prepare their arguments.
Beniwal, a prominent leader of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, has previously faced legal challenges in Rajasthan. His counsel argued that the FIR was politically motivated, prompting the court to intervene. The High Court's decision will be reviewed in subsequent hearings, and the FIR remains on record pending a final verdict.
The development is likely to influence the political climate in the state ahead of upcoming elections, as opposition parties may use the case to question the ruling coalition's handling of law‑and‑order issues.
