Mr.Ashok Mundargi i/b Ms.Swapna Kode for Applicant. Mr.H.J.Dedhia. A.P.P. for Respondent. ...... CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND A.P.BHANGALE, JJ. DATED:- DECEMBER 20, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard Counsel for the Applicant and the learned A.P.P. This is second bail application filed by the Applicant/accused No.6. The first bail application however was simplicitor withdrawn on 17th March, 2010. The Applicant has approached this Court primarily on the basis of the information recorded in the order in favour of original accused Nos.2 and 5 by this Court dated December 18, 2008 in Criminal Application No.1397 of 2008 while releasing them on bail. However, the learned A.P.P. has placed reliance on another order of this Court dated 8th October, 2009 in Criminal 2 1442.10 Application No.925 of 2009 and 1117/2009 filed by accused No.4 and 1 & 3 respectively. We are in agreement with the submission of the learned A.P.P. that the case of the Applicant/accused No.6 will have to be answered on the basis of the prima facie opinion recorded in the order dated 8th October, 2009 in rejecting the bail application of the co-accused Nos.1, 3 and 4. For the same reasons, therefore, this Application fails and the same is rejected. 2. At this stage, Counsel for the Applicant prays that the hearing of the Appeal be expedited. We have no difficulty in acceding to this request. If Appeal is ready in all respects, it may proceed for hearing as per its turn under caption `convicts in jail’, which is already an expedited category as per the present assignment. Ordered accordingly. A.P.BHANGALE, J. A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.
