Wait for the filing of the charge sheet. Your brother-in-law shall consult a local advocate (criminal knowledge person). You can if you so desire plead guilty and pay the fine imposed by court. act as per your lawyer's advice.

If the police have registered a FIR, then your brother in law should first get enlarged on bail.
After that he can challenge the case on merits to get it dismissed.
Regarding lawyer notice, your brother in law should engage the services of an advocate and issue a reply notice denying the allegations leveled therein.
