No they will not be arrested. Yes summons can be issued against both

You may also consider filing 498-A IPC with the police.
They may not be arrested in DVA but possibility of arrest is much more in 498-A IPC police complaint.
DVA is essentially for obtaining (a) protection order; (b) restraining order; (c) shared residence; and (d) claiming damages for domestic violence, including maintenance.

Hello.
Good Afternoon!
As far the DVA is concerned there would be less chances of the arrest of your husband and mother in law.
I would advise you to file a 498-A IPC.
In case of need please contact personally alongwith the details.
OR
Please mail if you have any further query.
Re: regarding DVA against mutiple people
Action of the court depends on whether disputed house ownership belongs to your mom-in-law or your husband?
If the ownership belongs to your husband,you can get favorable order but if it belongs to your mom-in-law,you have no case under DVA.
