Declaration of civil death

Dr.Gaurang N. Gandhi (Querist) 28 January 2016 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,

Yesterday I went to Court to file a declaratory suit for civil death of my client's father.

The Judge instructed me that civil court has no jurisdiction to entertain such suit.

And given me name of the following judgments namely

Subhash Ramchandra Wadekar Vs Union of India AIR 1993 Bom p 65

and GLR 2009 (5) 3949.

And instructed that you have to approach to High court.

Can anyone help me ? is there any authority that suggest the actual procedure of 107-108 of evidence act.

Please.

Not very difficult friend. Just file your sworn affidavit before the high court as it falls under administrative jurisdiction of the high court only.
