First file FIR in Local Police Station.

With these Documents and Affidavits of close relatives, file Petition in Civil Court [S.D.] FOR DECLARATION OF MISSING PERSON.

You are advised to go through section 108 (107 too)to have a better understanding of provisions laid in this regard in Indian Evidence Act.
Law so laid presumes that that when the question is whether a man is alive or dead, and it is proved that he has not been heard of for seven years by those who would naturally have heard of him if he had been alive, the burden of proving that he is alive is shifted to the person who affirms it.
So a declaratory suit comes in picture only when some one liable to presume death disputes it.There can not be suit unless you have cause of action.Declaratory relief
of this kind is incapable of valuation hence fixed court fees would be payable under relevant court fees Act applicable.
