s 107 Wage-earner
(1) In this part “wage-earner” means a person who is or has been employed on a salary or wage of an amount as may be prescribed excluding any temporary allowance and whose other income, if any, exclusive of any pension he may receive, does not exceed the amount as may be prescribed and does not arise from any trade or business in the management of which he takes any part. (2) If on examination of a judgment debtor in the High Court or in a Sessions Court or Magistrates Court it appears to such Court— (i) that the debtor is a wage-earner; and (ii) that he is indebted to more than one creditor; and (iii) that none of his debts or other liabilities was contracted in any trade or business in the management of which the debtor took part; and (iv) that his liabilities exceed the probable amount of his income during the ensuing six months, such Court shall, unless cause to the contrary be shown, instead of making any order for the payment of the judgment debt or for the committal of the debtor, order the debtor to attend before the Director General of Insolvency and also report the matter to the Director General of Insolvency.
