<br/>In Uttar Pradesh, Allahabad High Court has dismissed a writ petition of a controversial Samajwadi Party MLA Vijay Mishra seeking a stay on his arrest in connection with an FIR lodged against him for his alleged involvement in theft of vehicles in Mirzapur district.<br/><br/>Rejecting the petition, a Division Bench of the court comprising Justice Vinod Prasad and Justice Rajesh Chandra observed the petitioner had failed to place anything on record that could necessitate intervention at this stage.
