High Court Stays Trial Against SP MP Zia-ur-Rehman Barq
Imagine a rule book for elections called the 'Model Code of Conduct'.
Someone thought a politician named Zia-ur-Rehman Barq might have broken one of these rules during a recent election.
Because of this, a court case was started against him.
However, a higher court, the Allahabad High Court, has paused this case for now.
