IF she dose not appear after serving notice, partition shall be done in her absence. She can challenge within limitation period.

NO, property once gifted shall be yours, gift cannot be revoked.

Gifted property is yours.

No patwari or govt. authority can do any partition without the consent of your sister,  she has to give her consent or they may have to approach court with a suit for partition.

2. If the Dehradun property was transferred to you by a registered gift deed, then neither your father nor anyone can claim any share in it as a right.

3. Your father's share in the property shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs including you, your sister and his wife but not on the step son, if your father is reported to die intestate.

Your sister's share in the property cannot be partitioned by anyone without her consent except by court in a suit for partition.
