| Task         | Result    | Time      |
-------------------------------------------------
| <task1>      | <Result1> | <time1>   |
|              |           |           |
-------------------------------------------------

AD No: <adn>               Generated Date: <tdate>

You must show what you have done to solve the problem by your own.
Furthermore, this is the wrong forum for this problem.

Use printf for the basic formatting, eg somthing like this:

Code:
DID=TestID
DDATE=$(date +%Y-%m%d)
DTASK1="Testing"
DRESULT1=OK
DTIME1=$(date +%T)
printf "XYZ test results\n"
printf "\n"
printf "ID: %-20sDate: %s\n" $DID $DDATE
printf "%s\n" "-------------------------------------------------"
printf "|%-14s| %-10s| %-10s |\n" Task Result Time
printf "%s\n" "-------------------------------------------------"
printf "|%-14s| %-10s| %-10s |\n" "$DTASK1" "$RESULT1" "$DTIME1"
printf "%s\n" "-------------------------------------------------"
printf "\n"
printf "AD No: %-20sGenerated Date: %s\n" ADN001 "$(date +%m-%d-%Y)"
