 "So far as the factual position is concerned that is not disputed. It is not disputed that the bail application was accepted vide order dated 14.10.2024. It is also not disputed that surety bonds were not furnished till today and challan in this case has already been presented on 14.10.2024. Therefore, applying the ratio of case law Uday Mohan Lal Acharya (supra) and Amandeep Singh @ Aman (Supra), I am of the considered view that the application moved by applicant for permitting him to furnish the bail/surety bonds on behalf of accused Davinder Singh @ Motu @ Kaka is not liable to be allowed and as such, same stands dismissed."

18. Therefore, in conclusion:

18.1 Once the accused files an application for bail under the Proviso to Section 167(2) he is deemed to have 'availed of' or enforced his right to be released on default bail, accruing after expiry of the stipulated time limit for investigation. Thus, if the accused applies for bail under Section 167(2), CrPC read with Section 36A (4), NDPS Act upon expiry of 180 days or the extended period, as the case may be, the Court must release him on bail forthwith without any unnecessary delay after getting necessary information from the public prosecutor, as mentioned supra. Such prompt action will restrict the prosecution from frustrating the legislative mandate to release the accused on bail in case of default by the investigative agency. 18.

 application is pending before a higher Court. 18.3 However, where the accused fails to apply for default bail when the right accrues to him, and subsequently a chargesheet, additional complaint or a report seeking extension of time is preferred before the Magistrate, the right to default bail would be extinguished. The Magistrate would be at liberty to take cognizance of the case or grant further time for completion of the investigation, as the case may be, though the accused may still be released on bail under other provisions of the CrPC. 18.4 Notwithstanding the order of default bail passed by the Court, by virtue of Explanation I to Section 167(2), the actual release of the accused from custody is contingent on the directions passed by the competent Court granting bail. If the accused fails to furnish bail and/or comply with the terms and conditions of the bail order within the time stipulated by the Court, his continued detention in custody is valid."  5!  -!* 0 #/) /
