On Monday, November 15, 2022, Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala issued a "final warning to the prosecution to wake up," ordering the Delhi Police to present "irrelevant" witnesses for questioning in a 2020 riots case.

"Despite repeated directions given, in the past in a number of cases, for the prosecution to go through the record and to check, if everything is well with the record, such pain was not taken in this case, either by ld. Prosecutor or by the IO. One more last opportunity has been sought by the IO as well as representative of ld. Prosecutor,"

Further the court also stated that "At the cost of repetition of previous directions, it is again reminded that before obtaining summons for any witness, a duty has been cast upon the IO and the ld. Prosecutor to ensure relevance of such witness in the case and apparently it was not so done. Therefore, they must take care in future," "It has been also pointed out that in the charges, wrong date of incident has been mentioned,"

Manoj Kumar, a witness, appeared in court on Monday. The attorney for the accused, Noora, pointed out that the charges in the case make no mention of Kumar's complaint.

The order was issued in connection with the trial of Noor Mohammad alias Noora and Nabi Mohammad and a FIR registered by Khajuri Khas police station. Both accused are out on bail, and the trial has reached the stage of prosecution witness examination. The FIR was initially filed in response to a complaint filed by Dalip Singh, who claimed that on February 24, 2020, his automobile service centre was attacked by a mob. He claimed that the mob also set fire to 15 motorcycles, robbed him of his phone, and stole cash.
