You can produce the resignation letter copy and the acknowledgment of the previous employer for receiving the resignation letter. That is sufficient for the present employer. If you have followed the agreement terms at the time of resignation, the present employer will not think bad.

If 7 days notice is only the condition for getting your brother relieved from previous employment, a copy of previous appointment letter along with his acknowledged resignation letter submitted to his previous employer is sufficient for the present employer to take him into employment. Your brother should convince that he has fulfilled his requirement in this regard.

to give reliving order or not to give depends on your previous employer. if he does not give, what you will do except to console yourself or file a suit, which will take time. it better to explain the position to your new employer , i think, he will consider.

File a civil suit for mandatory injuction alongwith an application for ad-interim-injunction in civil court against previous employer.
