Interpleader Suit is governed by section 63 and Order XXXIII of the Civil Procedure Act. Interpleader suit is a suit in which a person who has no interest in the subject matter of dispute other than claims for his charges or costs, institutes a suit for the purpose of enabling the court to determine the rightful claimer as between more than one claimer. Interpleader suit is commenced by filing a plaint. Such Plaint must disclose facts showing that the plaintiff has no any interest in the subject matter save for charges or costs, it must also show that the defendants have competing claims among themselves severally and the same must also show that there is no collusion between plaintiff and any of the defendants. N.B. Interpleader order is issued at the discretion of the Court. See Sargeant vs. Gautama [1967] EA 338.
