Guardians and Wards Act,1890
9. Court having jurisdiction to entertain application
(1) If the application is with respect to the guardianship of
the person of the minor, it shall be made to the District Court having
jurisdiction in the place where the minor ordinarily resides.
(2) If the application is with respect to the guardianship of
the property of the minor, it may be made either to the District Court having
jurisdiction in the place where the minor ordinarily resides, or to a District
Court having jurisdiction in a place where he has property.
(3) If an application with respect to the guardianship of the
property of a minor is made to a District Court other than that having
jurisdiction in the place where the minor ordinarily resides, the court may
return the application if in its opinion the application would be disposed of
more justly or conveniently by any other District Court having jurisdiction.
