A deposits a box of jewels with B, who is a well-reputed person of his area. C alleges that the jewels were wrongfully obtained from him by A, and claims them from B. Legally, B has which of the following options?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 88 and Order XXXV provide an interpleader suit for a stakeholder faced with adverse claims to the same property, subject to their conditions. B can bring A and C before the Court to decide who is entitled to the jewels rather than choose one claimant himself. B must claim no independent interest except permitted charges or costs and be ready to hand over the property; the question states no separate title of B.
