BANKRUPTCY AMENDMENT ACT 1980 No. 12 of 1980 - SECT 63
Income of bankrupt
63. (1) Section 131 of the Principal Act is amended-
(a) by omitting from sub-section (2) "by the bankrupt"; and
(b) by adding at the end thereof the following sub-sections:
"(5) Without limiting the power of the Court to vary an order made under
sub-section (2), the Court may, upon such terms and conditions as it thinks
fit, vary such an order so as to relieve a person from liability to pay to the
trustee amounts that have become payable under the order.
"(6) An order under sub-section (2) ceases to have effect upon the discharge
of the bankrupt in relation to whom the order was made unless at that time the
bankrupt is undischarged from a later bankruptcy.
"(7) Where the Court orders, under sub-section (2), a person other than the
bankrupt to pay income of the bankrupt to the trustee for the benefit of the
bankrupt's creditors, a payment made by that person in pursuance of the order
is, to the extent of the amount paid, a valid discharge to him as against the
bankrupt.". (2) Where-
(a) an order made by the Court under sub-section 131 (2) of the Principal
Act in relation to a bankrupt was in force immediately before the
commencement of this section; and
(b) the bankrupt was discharged from bankruptcy before the commencement of
this section, the order ceases, by force of this sub-section, to have
effect upon the commencement of this section.
