A Magistrate orders remand of the accused under Section 309 Cr.P.C. having passed an order adjourning trial proceedings by merely filling the columns on the reverse of the printed warrant form already signed on the front side on some earlier date. Ignoring the note given in the printed form requiring reasons to be given for remanding the accused, the Magistrate omits to pass a separate reasoned remand order. Is the remand order legal?    (10 Marks)
