You must have file complaint in police station about missing if he is not found within reasonable time you may approach court to declare that missing is dead with relevant documents.

Yes. File complaint in the police station concerned about missing of the person. Then you may approach court to declare that missing is dead with a copy of the report of the police.

Did you lodge missing person FIR and newspaper publication 7 years before the date of approaching concerned Court to declare the person as "dead" u/s 108 of the Indian Evidence Act.?

It is advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/ documents, professional guidance and proceeding.
