It amounts to civil death. Paper publication is sufficient in case any litigation arises. The legal heirs of the deceased person can file a suit for declaration to declare them as the legal heirs of the deceased. In this case they can produce the paper publication. Even in the suit for partition also it can be done. I think I am right.

File civil suit for declaration after person missing more than 7 years.
Civil court has the power to declare a person dead.

My friends are right. However,It would be proper, though not mandatory, to lodge an FIR before taking steps advised by my friends.
