Now I aant to nullify his name as a spouse from my all docs including passport. What is the legal path .kindly suggest
If you discovered your second marriage was invalid because your spouse was already married, you may be able to nullify it. The process involves obtaining a divorce decree or a notarised affidavit confirming your separation. You can then apply for a new passport, declaring your marital status as 'separated', to have your ex-husband's name removed from your documents.

I opine that you legally separated from the husband then enclose a copy of decree to the authorities concerned to remove his name with a notarized affidavit. Consult a local advocate in the matter.

Addition/deletion/inclusion of Spouse's name For addition/deletion of spouse's name, applicant will be required to apply for new passport enclosing marriage certificate/death certificate/divorce decree, as the case may be, with the application. You can Re-apply for passport form and mention the marital status is separated. and you will get a passport without a spouse's name
