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).

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.
