Select one answer
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.
