in my opinion it will differ case to case. in your case you can make General Public a party as defendant . the judgement passed by the civil court on this basis will be ajudgement in rem

Dear Gopi Krishna, the question is "What is the competent court to issue a declaratory decree of adoption? -- As I said earlier, some said only district judge is competent to issue declaratory decree and no court lower than district court is competent to issue declaratory decrees - Is it true? - If so, please provide the provisions of the Act or any citations.
I request Sri Rajan Salvi, Sri Harbhajan Thukral, Sri Sanjay Dixit, Sri Gupta, Sri Arun Prakash, Sri Manish Singh, Sri B.S.S.T Sinivas also to pl elucidate on the issue by taking some of their valuable time. Thank you all.
