B comes to know that A has some money in a bank account and would like to have his decree satisfied by attaching the funds in the hands of A's bank. For this purpose he approaches a court and obtains a Garnishee order attaching funds at the bank standing to the credit of A. The bank being a debtor of its customer, in this eg, A, is the garnishee

In garnishee nisi, the garnishee is enabled to show cause why the amount in his hands (really belonging to the judgement debtor) should not be attached. It may be noted that a notice is sufficient to freeze the amount in the hands of the garnishee. However it can be vacated in a court of law.
