Report of police officer to be examined judicially by Magistrate-

-    Report of police officer to be examined judicially by Magistrate---Magistrate while exercising his powers under S.173, Cr.P.C. does not act in a mechanical manner---Order of Magistrate must show his application of mind, his opinion must be supported by reasons and his conclusion must be laced with evidence showing application of judicial mind---Despite all this, order passed by Magistrate is not a judicial order, but is an administrative order, however, it must be a judicious order.
