Allahabad HC stays Yash Dayal's arrest in sexual exploitation case
The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday stayed the arrest of cricketer Yash Dayal in connection with an FIR against him for allegedly sexually exploiting a woman. A bench comprising Justices Siddhartha Varma and Anil Kumar passed the order on Dayal's petition challenging the FIR. Staying his arrest, the court asked state counsel to file a counter affidavit and also issued notices to the complainant to file her counter in the matter. The FIR against 27-year-old Dayal, who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL, was registered on July 6 at the Indirapuram police station in Ghaziabad district under Section 69 (Sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means etc.) of the BNS. Dayal has been accused of sexually exploiting a woman on the pretext of marriage. The petitioner's counsel submitted that a person can be accused of an offence under Section 69 of BNS only if it is established that he makes a promise to marry to a woman without any intention to fulfill it. He argued that however a bare perusal of the averments made in the FIR reflects that the informant was in relationship with the petitioner for the past five years. She kept silent for a very long time and as when the petitioner was selected in the Indian cricket team, the FIR with an oblique motive was lodged for extorting onerous and arbitrary demands, the counsel further argued. He said the petitioner during the course of the relationship had provided financial support to the informant. In fact, the petitioner never made any false promise to the informant. Moreover, allegations in the FIR do not disclose that the petitioner has had sexual intercourse with the informant by deceitful means. In fact, this FIR by the informant has been lodged after the relationship between the parties turned sour, the counsel claimed. The additional government advocate argued that the informant has stated in her FIR that the petitioner was persistently exploiting her physically and was making physical relationship for the past five years and had also introduced her to his family on the pretext of marriage. The manner in which the petitioner involved the informant with his family members is sufficient to show that he was making false promise of marriage. The court said, "We have perused the FIR, from which it is apparent that relationship between the parties continued for a span of five years. At this stage, it is difficult to ascertain whether there was any promise of marriage or if there was any such promise, it was a false one from the very beginning with an intention to obtain sexual consent. The matter requires consideration." "Till the next date of listing or till the submission of police report, whichever is earlier, the petitioner shall not be arrested," the court added. In his petition, Dayal had sought stay of his arrest in the matter as well as quashing of the FIR registered against him. According to the complainant, the two had met around five years ago, and Dayal had promised to marry her. The woman also claimed that Dayal kept postponing her proposal to marry, and eventually, she came to know Dayal was involved with other women as well. The complaint was initially submitted on June 21 via the chief minister's online grievance portal (IGRS).

The Allahabad high court on Tuesday stayed the arrest of cricketer Yash Dayal in connection with an FIR lodged against him for allegedly sexually exploiting a woman, Live Law reported. Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Yash Dayal plays a shot during the 34th IPL 2025 match against Punjab Kings, at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.(ANI) A woman has accused the cricketer, who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), of sexually exploiting her through the promise of marriage. According to her, the two had met around five years ago. Yash Dayal, 27, was booked on July 6 at Indirapuram Police Station in Ghaziabad district under Section 69 (Sexual intercourse by deceitful means etc) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Last week, the cricketer moved the high court and sought a stay of his arrest and quashing of the FIR registered against him.

"You could have been fooled for 1 day, 2 day 3 day…but 5 are entering into a relationship for 5 can't be fooled for 5 years," the bench remarked orally, according to Live Law. What has the woman alleged? In her complaint to the police, the woman has alleged that Yash Dayal had physical relations with her by falsely promising marriage. 'He repeatedly made physical relations with me by falsely promising marriage and introduced me to his family, who assured that I would be their daughter-in-law. I maintained the relationship with complete honesty and dedication,' the woman alleged.

His relationship with other women caused me deep mental trauma and broke me down,' she alleged.

In his statement, Dayal alleged that the woman stole his iPhone and laptop, and borrowed money from him under false pretences. Dayal has said that he has evidence to support his claims.

Bengaluru stampede: Karnataka high court orders full disclosure of status report
Bengaluru: Stating that no national security or public interest is involved in keeping documents in a sealed cover, Karnataka high court mandated the disclosure of the June 12 status report on the June 4 M Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede, which claimed 11 lives. The court ordered that the report, along with translations submitted by the state govt, should be included in court records and shared with other respondents — Karnataka State Cricket Association, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and DNA Entertainment Pvt Ltd — and dismissed the previous sealed cover arrangement requested by advocate-general Shashikiran Shetty. A division bench led by acting Chief Justice V Kameshwar Rao and Justice CM Joshi issued a detailed order after considering submissions of parties involved. The court held Shashikiran Shetty's arguments as insufficient since sealed cover proceedings are limited to cases involving public interest, national security or privacy rights.

The bench emphasised that neither a retired high court judge nor an all-India service officer heading these inquiries would be susceptible to influence from the state's status report. The court initiated these proceedings to understand the tragedy's causes and future preventive measures. The bench felt sharing the report would enable respondents to assist the court better in understanding the facts and circumstances of the June 4 incident. The court also agreed with the assertion that these proceedings don't fall under Section 192(5) of BNSS, eliminating grounds for investigative confidentiality. It concurred with the submission that the facts presented won't change after the inquiry reports.
