Application to quash an order under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for expeditious disposal of bail application. Analysis: The judgment delivered by Hon'ble Gautam Chowdhary, J., pertains to an application filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking to quash an order dated 17.6.2021 in a specific case related to the C.G.S.T. Act, 2017. The applicant requested the quashing of the said order and emphasized on expeditious disposal of his bail application. The counsel for the applicant cited legal precedents, including the case of Amrawati and another Vs. State of U.P. and Lal Kamlendra Pratap Singh Vs. State of U.P., to support the plea for swift consideration of the bail application. The court, after considering the submissions made by the applicant's counsel and reviewing the facts and circumstances of the case, issued a directive. It directed that if the applicant surrenders before the court within 30 days from the date of the judgment and applies for bail, his bail plea should be promptly considered and decided in accordance with the law.

However, if the applicant fails to appear before the court within the specified period, coercive action is authorized against him. In conclusion, the court disposed of the application with the aforementioned directions, focusing on the expeditious processing of the applicant's bail application while ensuring compliance with legal procedures and timelines.
