2. In this view of the matter, I am of the view that it is a case of further! enquiry and is covered by section 497(2), Cr.P.C., therefore, the petitioner is admitted to bail provided he furnishes bail bonds in the sum of Rs. fifty thousand with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner Bhalwal.
