497 states that, Sexual intercourse without the consent or connivance of that man (Previous Husband)...The so called previous husband here has released all his rights on the women in the Divorce Deed, There is an agreement between them, which allow the women to do anything what she wants. 497 will be quashed…
496. states that, Whoever, dishonestly or with a fraudulent intention, goes through the ceremony of being married. Who is dishonest here? Who is going through the ceremony of being married? Husband has dissolved the marriage through court. Wife will be consider already married here. Who is married again. 496 will be quashed…
Give some light if something is missing above.

@ Sameer
You yourself have mentioned she has commited bigamy in your previous posts,that itself shows you do not accept legality of such a divorce deed.So both 496 & 497 will apply.
Now you yourself have not mentioned important points here.
497. Adultery.--Whoever has s*xual intercourse with a person who
is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of
another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such
s*xual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of
the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of
either descripttion for a term which may extend to five years, or with
fine, or with both. In such case the wife shall not be punishable as
an abettor.
496. Marriage ceremony fraudulently gone through without lawful
marriage.--Whoever, dishonestly or with a fraudulent intention, goes
through the ceremony of being married, knowing that he is not thereby
lawfully married, shall be punished with imprisonment of either
descripttion for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also
be liable to fine.

A case will be fought on its merits. Bigamy 494/495 and Section 497 are different sections.
Let’s talk about section 497 here only:
A person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man
>> Man himself was in an impression that women is her wife, and she is not wife of another man at the time while making s*xual intercourse.

As already explained, It was husband's responsibilty to make sure that wife is not somebody's legal wife before going through marriage ceremony.So 496 will apply to both.
It cannot be assumed that at the time of s*xual intercourse, he was unaware of divorce laws & after separation from her,he became aware of divorce laws.
He is studying marriage/divorce laws only for getting divorce / annulment?
Why he could not do the same before marriage?how the marriage got registered without her valid divorce?
he must have performed temple marriage,if he had tried to register this marriage,he would have come to know the laws then only.

After Separation, Man was supposed to file RCR...
But due to it is not lawful marriage, He cannot file RCR. It can be filed by lawful husband/Wife only....
Man has to study law to bring her wife back home. Not for divorce. It is good that man himself studied law Otherwise his application would be rejected at first instance or later on.
Register office is not authorized to check validity of documents.

Great.....After separation man was supposed to file RCR...
Why he wished to show intention to take back such a cruel wife?
Why a person who himself was having valid divorce decree(after going through at least 6 months of court process),check if his would-be wife is properly divorced?
Why he could not ask his lawyer if it is a valid divorce deed?
Who told you register office is not authorized to check validity of documents?
Go to any registration office & mention any of you as divorced,before registering your marriage they will ask for divorce decree & if it is not there,they will send you back.
However You can register marriage as unmarried without any proofs.
Do you have similar personal issue?
