(a) A garnishee having property other than money belonging to the judgment debtor, which the garnishee is obligated to deliver to the judgment debtor, shall deliver to the officer holding a certified copy of the judgment for the enforcement thereof against the judgment debtor so much thereof as is necessary to satisfy the amount due upon the judgment and costs.
(b) If mortgaged or pledged property is in the possession of a garnishee, or property is held for the payment of a debt to the garnishee, the judgment creditor may, under order of court, pay or tender the amount due to the garnishee; and the garnishee shall thereupon deliver the property to the officer holding the certified copy of the judgment for the enforcement thereof against the judgment debtor.
(c) Nothing contained in Part 7 of Article XII of this Act shall be construed to prevent the garnishee from selling property in his or her possession for the payment of claims for which it is mortgaged, pledged or otherwise held at any time before the amount due to the garnishee is paid or tendered, if the sale would be authorized as between the garnishee and the judgment debtor.
(d) If property is held for purposes other than to secure the payment of money, and if the promise, condition or other act to be performed can be performed by the judgment creditor without damage to other parties, the court may permit performance by the judgment creditor. Upon performance, or a tender of performance, by the judgment creditor the garnishee shall deliver the property to the officer holding the certified copy of the judgment for the enforcement thereof against the judgment debtor.
(e) Property received by an officer as described in this Section shall be sold in the same manner as if levied upon for the satisfaction of a judgment for the payment of money and from the proceeds of sale the officer shall repay the judgment creditor the amount paid the garnishee for the redemption, with interest, or shall indemnify the judgment creditor for acts done or performed pursuant to order of court in the redemption.
(b) If mortgaged or pledged property is in the possession of a garnishee, or property is held for the payment of a debt to the garnishee, the judgment creditor may, under order of court, pay or tender the amount due to the garnishee; and the garnishee shall thereupon deliver the property to the officer holding the certified copy of the judgment for the enforcement thereof against the judgment debtor.
