Under the Hindu Marriage Act, bigamy is illegal. The second marriage is void ab initio, meaning it is invalid from the beginning. The first marriage remains legally valid.

Both the Magistrate and the Sessions Court dismissed his claims. He has now approached the High Court, citing a technical legal provision, and a notice has been issued. The official needs to prepare a defense, beyond the Judge Protection Act, to counter these accusations.
