Though its difficult to advise anything without seeing the patient, a few things can be done.
1- Ask him to avoid sitting cross legged and climbing stairs unnecessarily.
2- In partial tears of knee ligament Platelet rich plasma injections can give substantial relief and some healing if patient is unwilling for surgery. Again it has to be decided after examining the patient
Next Steps
Wear sports shoes and avoid sitting on floor.

Looking at MRI report it's obvious that certain corrective measures needs to be taken in to consideration while treating him. However it will be fine to continue with conservative line of treatment if he is presently responding to Physio , Medication etc..I will suggest a opinion of knee arthroscopic surgeon.thanks

You need to get him evaluated clinically by an orthopedic surgeon..
Need for surgery depends on the level of activities before the injury and expectations from his knee in future..
