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.
