The court was hearing a case where the accused persons allegedly engaged in rioting and torched the complainant's vehicle parked on a road in the Maujpur area on the morning of February 25, 2020.
Noting that the charge for the offence of mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy house was not made out as the complainant's vehicle was allegedly burnt on the public road, Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat transferred back the case only for the offence of rioting to the magisterial court concerned.
