Full Text
The provisions of rules 46A to 46H (both inclusive) shall, so far as may be, apply in relation to negotiable instruments attached under rule 51 as they apply in relation to debts.
Plain English Summary
Extends garnishee provisions (Rules 46A to 46H) to negotiable instruments attached under Rule 51, treating the person liable on the instrument as a garnishee.
Key Legal Elements
- Application to Negotiable Instruments: Cheques, promissory notes, and bills of exchange.
- Drawer/Maker Treated as Garnishee: Notice issued to pay the proceeds into court.
- Uniform Procedure: Applies Rules 46A–46H mutatis mutandis.
Practical Note
Recovering on Seized Negotiable Instruments: When promissory notes or uncashed cheques payable to the judgment-debtor are seized, invoke Rule 46-I to summon the drawer as a garnishee to deposit the face value into court.
