Looking for legal advice on bigamy

I was recently attacked by my husband with an iron rod and the case is pending at the karur court. He got married to a women in 1990. I filed for bigamy case at karur in 1990 and lost the case. I went for an appeal to trichy court in 1992 and chennai high court in 1993 and lost the case. I was not able to prove in the court earlier, now i have all the proofs from Aadhaar, Voter ID, Ration card. In the FIR copy, he got admitted that he is living with his second wife and admitted the samething in the court on the domestic violence case.

Now, I'm looking for advice from the legal experts on how to approach my bigamy case.

Do you have proof of actual ceremonies between the husband with another woman? If not then forget. Aadhar, voter's card, ration card are not the proof of actual marriage ceremonies between the parties. Even without marriage, two persons living together can make all these documents very easily. Just forget bigamy case as you already wasted money on the lawyers who wrongly advised you to file such criminal complaint without sufficient proof of his second marriage and now once again if you do it, than only lawyers will be earning and you'll get nothing.

It's almost 30 years. Atleast now get hold of your life, don't waste any further.

The law of res judicata will be an impediment for you.

Pardon me.    Res judicata is not applicable to criminal cases.

An offence once tried can't be tried again.

Now that 497 is not criminal there is nothing that you can do ..all you can do is just take divorce.

Good luck with your cases.keep filing and keep loosing.

Rgds,

Vinay.
