My views are appended below, please.

If the property is his self-acquired, he has the absolute right to transfer it as per his wish. In case of ancestral property, he cannot do it as per his will and wish. In such case, the share-holders of the property can send a legal notice to him to partition the property.

Well.
There are two things we have to consider.
whether the properties are self earned or ancestral.
If the properties are self earned ,then he has full right to settle it to anyone.

If it is ancestral, you can claim it through the civil court.

You have not mentioned that if the property is your father in law's own property or got a share of the ancestral property.
If the property belonged absolutely to your father in law alone then he has full rights to transfer the entire property or part of it to anyone of his choice and desire.
Neither your husband nor his other brother can legally claim rights in the property in any manner.
Instead of adopting legal measures, you may rope in some elders to convince your father in law to allot some property to your husband also so that the harmony of the family and the relationship would be in tact.
