<h1>Summoning order quashed for reliance on unfiled annexures and mechanical, non-speaking exercise without application of mind.</h1> A summoning order in a complaint under Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 was quashed because the complaint relied on annexures such as the annual ... Summoning order - non-application of mind - absence of foundational documents with complaintSummoning order - non-application of mind - absence of foundational documents with complaint - The summoning order could not be sustained where the complaint repeatedly referred to annexed documents forming the basis of the prosecution, but none of those annexures had been filed as such on the trial court record. - HELD THAT: - The Court found that the complaint under Section 211 of the Companies Act was founded on specific documents, including the annual return, the inspection report, the balance-sheet, the show cause notice, the authorisation for filing the complaint and the reply, all stated to be annexures to the complaint. On perusal of the trial court record, the Court found that no document had been filed as the annexures referred to in the complaint. Since the prosecution case itself rested on those documents, issuance of process without noticing their absence disclosed non-application of mind. The summoning order, passed on a preformatted cyclo-styled proforma, was therefore held unsustainable. [Paras 12, 14, 15, 16]The impugned summoning order was quashed and the petition was disposed of.Final Conclusion: The Court quashed the summoning order on the ground that the complaint was unsupported by the annexures on which the prosecution case was stated to rest, and that the order issuing summons reflected non-application of mind. Issues: Whether the summoning order in a complaint under Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 was liable to be quashed for want of the annexures referred to in the complaint and for non-application of mind.Analysis: The complaint expressly referred to multiple annexures, including the annual return and inspection report, but none of the annexures mentioned in the complaint had been filed or marked before the trial court. In the absence of the documents forming the basis of the allegations, the summoning order could not be sustained. The use of a preformatted pro forma order with blank spaces filled in also reflected a mechanical exercise rather than a judicial application of mind to the complaint and supporting material.Conclusion: The summoning order was quashed.Final Conclusion: The proceeding ended in favour of the petitioner by setting aside the impugned summoning order for want of proper judicial scrutiny and supporting material.Ratio Decidendi: A summoning order cannot stand where the complaint relies on unfiled or unmarked annexures and the record shows a mechanical, non-speaking exercise without application of mind.
