What are the facts? What is the context?

G.L.N. Prasad (Retired employee.)     29 May 2020

in laymen terms, we treat persons dead only if there is a dead body and support of death certificate by the competent authority.  But when body is not available and whereabouts are not known, one has to wait for 7 years and apply to the court,  the court then  gives such declaration on the basis of such facts of no knowledge on such person for over 7 years.  For claiming a benefit or to take any action on that person's assets etc, DC is mandatory.  DC can be given only on the proper laid down procedure.  This civil death is exclusive procedure meant for different needs
