You have filed the complaint and have duly impleaded the other party also whether you have any relief prayed against him or not.
You cannot dance to the tunes of other agitating opposite party, you remain silent and watch the developments.
Let the court decide, if you are given a notice you can raise your objections accordingly

A pro-forma party is a party against whom no relief is sought, he is arraying as party only to avoid the defect of non- joinder of parties so later on he can't be arrayed as necessary party.

A pro forma party to a litigation is one against whom no relief is sought in a legal proceeding (at its beginning) on the posit that he is a proper party. It is usually done with a view to seeking relief in future, amending the pleading, if the changed situation so warrants.
