1)one lawyer can represent all the respondents . on reply can be filed on behalf of respondents . has to be duly signed by them .
2)make application for exemption from personal appearance of sisters .
3)without going through allegations made in complaint difficult to advise
4) always better to engage a local lawyer . saves you lot of money in transportation costs , fees etc
