"Court" under Section 8 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 includes:

Section 8(6) of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act names the "city civil court or a district court" or a court empowered under Section 4A of the Guardians and Wards Act, with territorial jurisdiction over the property. Section 4(4) of the latter Act includes a High Court exercising ordinary original civil jurisdiction within its district-court definition, so the High Court cannot be excluded categorically merely because of its name.
