Article 321

Nothing in the preceding Articles shall prevent a person who seeks to be relieved from liability at any time before or after the institution of a suit, from giving notice to any person or persons entitled thereto to accept any sum of money or other property.

Where such notice is not answered, such person may deposit, against receipt, such sum of money or other property in the registry of any court or of the court in which the suit is pending, as the case may be, after deducting his costs and charges, if any.

On making a deposit under sub-Article (2), the depositor shall give the registrar an affidavit stating the reason for the deposit and deductions, if any, and that notice under sub-Article (1) has been given but not answered. A copy of the affidavit shall be served on the person or persons concerned in the same manner as a summons.

Any sum of money or other property deposited under sub-Article (2) may at any time be withdrawn by any person who, on application, satisfies the court that he is entitled thereto.
