INTERPLEADER SUIT-
Meaning and definition
When the plaintiff on behalf of the claimant filed a suit for choosing the actual owner of the property then it is called an interpleader suit. When a Plaintiff is not in the direct possession of the property or thing, he files a suit. Petitioner has the indirect possession of the property. There is more than one defendant in this suit, because in this suit more than one defendant can file the suit for the claim of property. When the actual owner of the property dies without transferring the property to anyone then the property transfer becomes the interpleader suit. Other than that the plaintiff may file a suit for the movable or immovable property to deliver the property to the defendant because more than one person has filed a suit for the claim of property. Debt is required in this suit or some amount of money for the dispute which is between two defendants. Defendants can claim some debt from another defendant of the property. Only the plaintiff is the one who cannot claim any cost and is also ready to deliver the property to the defendants. Interpleader is defined in Section 88 of the Civil Procedure Court.
