Explanation:

Section 34 - a. In a suit for declaration of title albeit a property, ‘A’ gets a decree against ‘B’ and that decree is binding between ‘A’ and ‘B’; subsequently litigation ensues between ‘A’ and a third-party i.e. ‘C’, where both ‘A’ and ‘C’ assert their title to the property and seek declaration albeit the title of the property; here it is not essential that the title which ‘A’ has obtained against ‘B’ earlier will be binding against ‘C’ also. The earlier decree was a decree in personam and was binding between ‘A’ and ‘B’ only; in the subsequent suit between ‘A’ and ‘C’, ‘C’ may prove a better title and decree may go in his favour; for example, if ‘C’ is able to prove the Will of ‘A’s’ father in his favour, then the decree will go in the favour of ‘C’, there by ousting ‘A’.
