] am learning to render light and Shadows , I have a Question here that "Do I have to Render all the members of Light and Shadow Family like Cast Shadow, Bounce light, Reflected Light, Midtone, Direct Light and finally the highlight, Everytime for every kind of object and every kind of light? "
This question seems better suited to a more generalized community like /r/learnart or /r/learntodraw. This subreddit is reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here, which actually do not touch the topic of lighting/rendering, in favour of developing a strong grasp of 3D space and spatial reasoning prior to getting into those topics.
For what it's worth though, there's two ways to interpret your question:
In every single drawing that I produce, do I need to consider all of these different concepts and always include every different component, without exception?
Is every one of these lighting concepts/components present in every realistic depiction of an object?
I'm going to answer the second of these first - yes, while they're not always as visible (a specular highlight might be virtually unnoticeable on an especially matte surface), each concept is going to be present for any "realistic" depiction of objects in a realistic scene.
This leads us into our second question, however - you may still choose to leave certain concepts out, as per your own specific stylistic choices. That doesn't mean "do whatever you want and call it style if someone challenges you on it" - rather, it means that style itself is a series of conscious and consistent choices or rules we apply to the way in which objects are depicted. We can choose to go fully realistic, or even hyper realistic (where we exaggerate those kinds of lighting concepts), or we can choose to neglect certain elements altogether to create a different flavour.

To that point, I'll direct you to this deeper explanation of what style is in relation to "realism" or the "fundamentals".
