Normally, in accident cases, the police will prosecute under the Criminal procedure and the victim side also may sue for compensation.
If there is no violation of Insurance policy of your car, ultimately, the insurance Company is liable to pay compensation.
As for as the police case is concerned, if your son in law feels that no wrong is done from his side, he can defend the case before the court.
Note that your son in law has to participate in the case proceedings regularly and conduct the same properly to avoid risk and liabilities.

Agree with the advise of experts.
Whether any FIR was lodged on behalf of your injured Kid and your sister beaten by public and any medical was conducted ?

The case is of life and death. No court will complete it in two or three hearings as you are wishing. The case cycle we can not predict unless we are in court to monitor the hearings.
Employ a criminal lawyer. Once done he is duty bound to defend your son-law whatever be the odds against your son-in-law in the in the case.
