In connection with the captioned subject matter, App. Mustakim Alam was called before the Stewards of the Club at their meeting held on Sunday, 24th November 2024. On being questioned, App. Mustakim Alam stated that considering that DASH (Yash Narredu) was racing on his outside and since there was no gap, he tapped his mount and shifted in and added that the Jockey on his inside did not shout out to him otherwise he would have maintained a straight course and he apologized for his mistake.
In this connection, the Stewards of the Club having considered all the submissions made by him and having viewed the video recording of the race, the Stewards were not satisfied with the explanation tendered by him and also taking into account his past record held him guilty of careless riding, decided by majority to suspend his Jockeys licence for three race days as well as to invoke the suspended sentence of three race days accorded to him by the Board of Appeal. As such, his Jockeys licence shall stand suspended w.e.f. 15th December 2024 to 9th January 2025 (both days inclusive) (permitted to ride work/mock race).
Subsequently, vide his letter dated 25th November 2024, he stated that he does not wish to appeal against the decision of the Stewards and requested to start his suspension with immediate effect.

In connection with the above subject matter, the Board of Appeal at their meeting held on Thursday, 7th November 2024, considered Appeal dated 21st October 2024 from Mr. N. B.

Whilst making submissions, Mr. P.S. Chouhan had withdrawn point 4 of the grounds of appeal which stated "The inquiry was initiated based on a misunderstanding without allowing him a fair opportunity to explain the context of his message and this is against the principle of natural justice as he did not get any opportunity to explain his case. Proper procedural fairness was not uphold as he was not given the chance to clarify that the message was simply his personal opinion and not an endorsement of betting on those horses”. Mr. Chouhan had also apologized to the Board for making this statement. This matter was duly recorded in the Minutes of meeting.
The Board of Appeal having deliberated on the matter at length, decided to reduce the period of suspension of his Jockey's licence.
