Statutory text

Where two  or  more  persons  claim  adversely  to

person, who claims no interest therein other than for charges or costs and who is ready to pay or deliver it
to the rightful claimant, such other person may institute a suit of interpleader 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

Provided that where any suit is pending in which the rights of all parties can properly be decided, no such suit of interpleader shall be instituted.
