Where the charge-sheet in the original FIR was filed within time, default bail under Section 167(2) cannot be claimed by linking the request to a later CBI investigation arising from the court-directed further inquiry. The later fresh FIR and further report were treated as part of the continuing investigative process, not as rejection or quashing of the earlier report.
