(a) claims no interest in the property in dispute except for charges or costs; and

(b) does not collude with a claimant.

(2) Where a sheriff applies for relief by way of interpleader, the Court may require him to satisfy it on the matters mentioned in subrule (1) and it may, if not satisfied on those matters, dismiss the application.

(3) Nothing in this rule affects the power of the Court in other cases to dismiss the application or give judgment against the applicant.
