He can file the case where they live..they can't file case in any state nor they do it anywhere in india except the place where they live. Complaint under Section 498A IPC can be filed at place of woman's residence .

The jurisdiction is always decided on two factors. The one is where the complainant resides and the another one can be where the incident/crime took place. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Sir your father in law cannot file 498 case or DV case on you or your family. It can only be done by your wife. If your wife is living with her father and he is planning to file on her behalf then also she has to give proper power of attorney. He can file where your wife is living currently or where you both lived i.e. you matrimonial house.
