Inter-Pleader Suit:Where two or more persons claim adversely to one another the same debt, sum of money or other property movable or immovable, from another person who claims no interest therein other than for charges and costs and who is ready to pay or deliver it to the rightful claimant, such other person may institute a suit of inter-pleader against all the claimants for the purpose of obtaining a decision as to the person to whom the payment or delivery shall be made and of obtaining indemnity for himself, and may pay such sum of money into Court or place such property at the disposal of the Court; provided that where any suit is pending in which the rights of all parties can properly be decided, no such suit of inter-pleader shall be instituted. 297. Power of Court to Inspect:The Court may at any stage of a suit inspect any property or thing which is in dispute before it. 298.
