v.sad to hear.

in whose name is the house where your brother inlaw and his k** live?

If he is wedded to the other woman then your sister can file a case of bigamy. Since already a case is filed under DV Act it is advisable to pursue the same since that's the only recourse if she wants to co-habit with her husband.

@Leela

This is certainly a made out case against the husband under:

- Cruelity under 498-a

- DV Act

- 494 IPC if he married the other lady

I suggest that you immediately contact a local lawyer and file a complaint with the police station. If you want you can amend the earlier complaint with special application.

Civil and criminal case can file against him.

Agreed with Vishal.

Mr. A.V. Vishal,Advocate has rightly advised looking to the facts exposed by Leela.Mr. Leela, you have not disclosed facts on the bases of which husband of your sister seek divorce.It is bit difficult to prove adultery but don't be hopeless.Each crime can be detacted.
