In

SCR 360, in a suit for specific performance the subsequent
purchaser was held to be a necessary party. In this case

the agreement of sale. Section 15 of the Specific Relief
Act, 1963, provides that except as otherwise provided by
this Chapter, the specific performance of a contract may be
obtained by "any party thereto"; and under s. 16 the Court
has been given discretion and personal bars to relief.

proper party to adjudicate upon the dispute arising in the
suit so as to render an effective and complete adjudication
of the dispute involved in this suit.

Razia Begum vs Sahebzadi Anwar Begum & Others on 23 May, 1958
In Razia Begum v. Sahebzadi Anwar Begum &
Ors. , 1959 SCR 111, in a suit instituted for a declaration
of legal status as a married wife, the question arose
whether another person claiming to be the third wife and
sons through her are necessary and proper party, who sought
to come on record under Order 1 Rule 10(2). This Court held
that in a suit for declaration, as regards status or legal
character under s.42 of the Specific Relief Act, the rule
that in order that a person may be added as a party must
have a present or

direct interest in the subject matter of the suit, is not
wholly applicable, and the rule may be relaxed in a suitable
case where the court is of the opinion that by adding that
party it would be in a better position to effectually and
completely to adjudicate upon the controversy. In such
suits the court is not bound to grant the declaration prayed
for, on a mere admission of the claim by the defendant, if
the court has reasons to insist upon clear proof, apart from
the admission. It was therefore, held that a declaratory
judgment since binds not only the parties actually before
the court but also the persons claiming through them
respectively within the meaning of s.43 of the Specific
Relief Act, they are proper parties. The petitioner is not
claiming this legal status nor through the respondent.
