The Court, however, stated that if the petitioner commits the further offence of a similar nature during the time of bail then the Prosecuting Agency or the Investigating Officer concerned shall immediately conduct a proper enquiry and file a report to the Jurisdictional Magistrates Court.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>[Joyal S.
