Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2.

I have perused the material on record. There is sufficient material on record to show the involvement of the applicant in commission of the offence. The learned Counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is suffering from tuberculosis. 4. In my view, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. Hearing of the appeal, however, is expedited. Liberty is granted to the applicant to apply for bail if the appeal is not heard within a reasonable period of time. The Superintendent, Nashik Central Jail is directed to get the applicant medically examined from the Government Hospital and the Dean of the said hospital is directed to give adequate medical treatment to the applicant. 5. Application is dismissed with the above directions. (V.M. KANADE, J.) 3 (Cr.appln891/10 in Cr.appeal 525/10)
