Requirements of documents

(Querist) 19 June 2024 This query is : Resolved 
In joint property out of three one person at his small age went away and did not return back even after 50 years but his name is reflected in fard property documents. My query whether this person is alive or dead how to proceed so that property can be sold off.
Quick Summary
If a co-owner of joint property has been missing for over seven years and hasn't been heard from, you can initiate legal proceedings to have them declared 'civilly dead'. This involves filing a missing person complaint and then a suit for declaration in civil court. Once declared civilly dead, their share of the property can be legally divided amongst the remaining owners or their heirs, allowing the property to be sold.

It cannot be suppressed, but a civil death could be applied to proceed .

If the person is not heard of for more than seven years, then on the basis of man missing complaint, a suit for declaration to declare him as civil dead to be filed before civil court, after which the legal heirs of the missing person/civil dead person can avail his share in the jointly held property.
