Vinayak maintains an account with the bank. A court attachment order for ₹ 10,000 on the account is received. State the action that will be taken in the following situations : (ii) Vinayak has tendered ₹ 5,000 for purchase of a draft.

Answer & Explanation:

Only debts 'owing and accruing due' to the judgement debtor at the hands of the Bank are attached by a Garnishee order. The amount tendered for purchase of a draft is entrusted for a specific purpose, and therefore, cannot be considered a debt; hence it is not attachable.
