The main purpose of interpleader proceedings was stated in the case of
SALAMI VS. SHARANI (1973) 2 GLR 364 as follows:
“The most important object of an interpleader suit was to enable the deputy
sheriff against whom the claim was made and who had seized the property and
was now in possession thereof, to obtain relief and to get a decision of the
court as regards the person to whom he had to release the property”.
