Section 17 of Hindu Marriage Act cleary states having a second marriage with out legal divorce is punishable..Also IPC Sec 494 and Sec 495 would be applicable

Even the live in relationship could be treated as Adultery and under Sec 497 IPC it is punishable with imprisonment up to 5 years please.

Guest (Expert) 14 December 2017
Obviously he would have mentioned that lady as spouse in H1B1 visa and it would be a Solid Evidence.of Adultery

Once you decide you could watch him counting the Bars

Discuss with your Advocate

You have not clarified how you are concerned with the case.

Question arises, are you the undivorced wife?

Further, your question "Now,what would be the punishment for him as per law" is quite odd, as if you are competent to punish him and after knowing your powers, you would punish him.

Anyway, you have been provided with the desired tutorial by one expert. Now you can punish the fugitive husband with imprisonment, if you can.

If you have his PassPort details you could file a complaint with concerned US Consulate which had issued the Visa for him for filing a forged application for visa stating a stranger as his wife.Certainly the consulate would initiate required action for it.

Guest (Expert) 15 December 2017
The complaints could be sent by mail also.

No action and trial for the offence is feasible unless the husband returns back to the country.

Guest (Expert) 15 December 2017
Filing False/Forged details in VISA application is an criminal offence and certainly the US Consulate would deal with it strictly..

I endorse the views of Dr. JC Vashista. Advice or solution should be to the problem, not on any hypothetical situation.
