(3.) IT has been held in 1976 SCC (Crl.) 507, Smt. Nagawwa v. Veeranna Shivalingappa Konjalgi and Ors., by Hon'ble the Apex Court that where the allegation made in the complaint are patently absurd or are inherently improbable so that no prudent person can ever reach a conclusion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding against the accused or the discretion of the Magistrate is based on no evidence. The prayer for summoning the accused can be rejected. In AIR 1992 SC 1815, Punjab National Bank v. Surendra Prasad Sinha, it has been held by Hon'ble the Apex Court that relevant fact and circumstances should be considered before issuing the process. Process issued mechanically on the basis of complaint filed as vendetta to harass persons deserves to be quashed because judicial process would not be an instrument of oppression of needless harassment.
