i don't think it is possible to extend it to your in laws. in law that words father and mother is restricted only to your father and mother and not to your in laws.

This type of facility is devised by particular company for particular persons. It may vary from one company to another. You have to first try to know whether the benefits otherwise reserved for your parents can be extended to your parents in law. I do not think that in absence of your parents the benefits would be extended to your inlaws.

It is the policy of the Companies involved not any legal obligation. This is not claimed as a right. Further lower category employees are not allowed this coverage. So you have to look to your company's policy or else ask them to relax the same in your case.
