This writ petition has been ﬁled seeking to quash the impugned garnishee notice. Since the appeal filed against the assessment order dated 03-03-2006, is pending, we feel that the impugned garnishee notice should not be given eﬀect to till the appeal is decided. Hence, the Writ Petition and the vacate stay petition are disposed of with a direction to the Commissioner of Income Tax, to expedite the ﬁnal hearing of the appeal. No costs. _________________________ (Bilal Nazki, J) 22nd January, 2007 __________________________ (Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J) lur
