In the said order this directed that where a prisoner is suffering from serious disease the procedure prescribed in Rule 27 of the Maharashtra Prison Rules is required to be followed by the concerned authorities. 5. We have perused the scheme of Rule 27 of the Maharashtra Prison Rules and it is for the authorities concerned to proceed to take steps in obedience of the order passed by this Court on 8th March, 2010 and that too based on the medical report of the applicant. However, as of now there is no case made out to release the applicant on bail and more so when the Criminal Appeal No.1215 of 2005 is ready for final hearing. . 6.
