The concept of 'Garnishment' has been introduced in civil procedure code by the amendment Act, 1976 and is a remarkable piece of legislation. This term has been derived from the French word 'garnir' which means to warn or to prepare. In simple words the garnishee is the person who is liable to pay a debt to a debt to judgment debtor or to deliver any movable property to him. Besides Judgment Debtor and decree Holder, Garnishee is a third person in whose hands debt of the judgment debtor is kept.
