Can civil cases be filed directly in high court

Can we file civil cases related to property inheritance directly in High Court without going to District Court first? I live in the city of High Court but the property is located in another city which falls under High Court jurisdiction of my city.

No, you can invoke jurisdiction of district court for initiation of a suit, read Section 15 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.

You have to file the suit in the jurisdictional district court where the property is situated
