Publication of notice in newspaper, as per court's order, is called substituted service. After publication of notice in two newspapers where the defendants are residing, the process of service will be completed. After this if the defendants do not appear, either personally or through advocate, the court will proceed as per the plaintiffs case and will decide the matter ex parte

Dear Client,
In the present situation, you have file the case in a proper jurisdiction. So far as non appearce of the defendant is concerned, you do the next process, if after paper publication the defendants don't turn up, you can pray for ex-party hearing.
