The lower court failed to apply judicial mind before issuing process, merely summarizing complaint contents without examining allegations or recording reasons for taking cognizance. HC held that summoning orders require prima facie satisfaction and proper reasoning, citing SC precedents in Lalankumar Singh and Pepsi Foods Ltd.
