Patelnagar, District Dehradun on 02.01.2015 against the applicants; accordingly, an FIR No.04 of 2015 was lodged. After investigation charge-sheet was submitted, accordingly, the 2nd Addl.

From the perusal of the cognizance order dated 25.02.2016, it is clear that the concerned Magistrate did not apply his mind before taking cognizance; that, it is a cyclostyled order, where date, name of the accused and sections were mentioned, which shows that the concerned Magistrate even did not peruse the evidence collected during the investigation; that, he simply mentioned the date, name of the accused and sections in the cognizance order, which is not proper. 8. Accordingly, impugned cognizance order dated 25.02.2015 is liable to be set aside and is hereby set aside. The matter is remitted back to the Court of 2nd Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, District Dehradun for decision afresh. 9. Pending application, if any, stands disposed of.
