No you can not.
You may conduct the case on her behalf if the same is civil case but not plead or argue the case.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 22 December 2011
DV Case can be filed and be perused with the help of other person like her family member so there is no legal hurdle to handle the case on behalf of your sister subject to a specific authority but not as her lawyer rather as her representative.

There is no need to possess a degree of law for such representation.

@Dev sir,
what would constitute 'conducting' the case?

@Raj sir,
does that mean at the time of cross of both plaintiff and respondent ,representative can be there along with plaintiff?
Do i need to seek written permission from court for the same?

She has already filed a case through an advocate now you can not contest on her behalf.

You can informally assist the duly appointed lawyer, but only if your sister so desires and authosises you to do so, but not as her lawyer in the court on her behalf.

You can not act as a lawyer.

You can assist the existing advocate by providing necessary info.

Sailesh Kumar Shah (Expert) 24 December 2011
you can assist. But not a capacity of advocate in the court.
