Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant. 2. This is a second application for bail. Applicant is convicted for an offence punishable under sections 376 (2)(f) and section 363 read with section 366 of the Indian Penal Code and is sentenced to suffer R.I. for a period of 10 years. In a case where the accused is convicted under section 376 (2)(f), the minimum sentence is 10 years and merely because applicant has undergone 50% of the sentence would not be a ground for releasing him on bail. Hence, 2 APPA 1190/10 application for bail is rejected. Hearing of the appeal is expedited. 3. Applicant is also at liberty to file private paper book. Place the appeal on final hearing board in the week commencing from 06/12/2010. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
