The Court emphasised that taking cognizance and the issuance of process is a judicial act and it must reflect application of mind. &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The process should not be issued in a mechanical manner by simply filling the blank spaces in the printed proforma. Such practice provides an occasion to the accused to approach the higher courts complaining the non-application of mind by the Magistrate, thereby leading to an avoidable delay in the disposal of the complaint<\/span>&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Vis-&agrave;-vis the petitioner&#8217;s contention regarding the complainant\/respondent and his counsel not signing the complaint or the affidavit, the Court stated that it may amount to irregularity, which can be cured by permitting the complainant\/respondent to file fresh affidavit in support of complaint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court however deemed it fit to quash the issuance of process by the Trial Court based as it did not reflect application of mind and was issued in a mechanical manner by simply filling the blank spaces in the printed proforma.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Sajad Ahmad Mir v.
