you have to cross examine your FIL effectively.  Burden lies on your FIl to prove it and it is on you to disprove it.  To prove the promissory notes evidence is very important.

It is not very difficult to counter fake promissory notes when the amounts are very heavy. The imporatant points will be source of funds, relationship with the person alleged to have paid and received by the other, whether such amounts are given in cash or cheque, whether the interests amounts are reflected as income tax returns and if he is a government employee whether he has informed the competent authority; besides the other forensic options. These are in addition to other technics adopted by the advocates for cross examination.
