The defendant may, at any time before judgment upon reasonable notice to the plaintiff, move to discharge an attachment, as to the whole or part of the property attached. A motion to discharge an attachment shall be heard promptly, and in any case within five (5) days after the date that it was filed. Where the defendant did not receive actual notice of the hearing, the court must grant his motion unless, at the hearing on defendant's motion, the plaintiff proves the probable merit of his cause and the truth of the averments in his application.
