9. I hope and trust that criminal Court dealing with
criminal cases coming to know that accused person
before it is entitled to "default bail" under
Section 167(2) of the Cr.P.C. would apprise him
or her of the indefeasible right as directed by
the Supreme Court in Rakesh Kumar Paul (supra)
without fail.

Sanjay Dutt vs State Of Maharashtra Tr.Cbi,Bombay on 21 March, 2013
5. The question as to whether the applicant/accused
would be entitled for default bail if the charge
sheet is filed after expiry of 90 days from the
date of first remand and the application under
Section 167 (2) of the Cr.P.C. is filed
4
thereafter, is no longer res integra as it has
been decided by the Supreme Court in various
decisions including the decision rendered by the
Constitution Bench in Sanjay Dutt v. State1 which
has further been followed in the recent decision
of the Supreme Court in Rakesh Kumar Paul v.
State of Assam2 wherein it has been held that the
indefeasible right accruing to the accused is
enforceable only prior to the filing of the
chargesheet and it does not survive or remain
enforceable thereafter, if already not availed
of. Their Lordships, while relying upon the
decision of the Constitution Bench in Sanjay Dutt
(supra), have held as under in paragraphs 36, 38
and 39 of the report :
"36. While dealing with this common
stance, the Constitution Bench in Sanjay
Dutt made it clear in paragraph 48 of the
Report that the indefeasible right
accruing to the accused is enforceable
only prior to the filing of the charge
sheet and it does not survive or remain
enforceable thereafter, if already not
availed of. In other words, the
Constitution Bench took the view that the
indefeasible right of "default bail"

Mohammed Azharuddin Mazhar @ Iqbal ... vs The State Of Maharashtra on 23 August, 2019
39. This Court also noted that apart from
the possibility of the prosecution
frustrating the indefeasible right, there
are occasions when even the court
frustrates the indefeasible right.
Reference was made to Mohd. Iqbal Madar
Sheikh v. State of Maharashtra4 wherein it
was observed that some courts keep the
application for 'default bail' pending for
some days so that in the meantime a charge
sheet is submitted. While such a practice
both on the part of prosecution as well as
some courts must be very strongly and
vehemently discouraged, we reiterate that
no subterfuge should be resorted to, to
defeat the indefeasible right of the
accused for 'default bail' during the
interregnum when the statutory period for
filing the charge sheet or challan expires
and the submission of the charge sheet or
challan in court."
