Service by all means states for the serving of the summons or petition through all possible modes. Also now if the service through all means have been completed then your lawyer should press for ex parte decree in favor of your sister. For any further legal assistance please feel free to contact Thanks

If both the parties are not attending the court, the case will be dismissed for default. If the plaintiff fails to appear in court the case would be dismissed on Grounds of non prosecution. ... If advocate is also absent, then case may be dismissed by the court as 'dismiss in default'.
