Settlement

I got  judicial  separation in 2015 and  again  marry a relative  without  divorce  from  first  wife.

The  second  marriage  was conducted  in the  house  with  closed  doors.

Have  child  from both  marriages.

Recently  got  stroke  and  became  bed redundant.

 

Now, second wife(eventhough  the  same  was null and  void)want to get rid of my life  if  I give. Lumpsum  amount.

Is any provision  in Indian  law  for  the  same?

Presumably you are a Hindu, if so, the second marriage is void during subsistace of marriage where you are separated but not divorced.  The partner (not wife) has no legal right to claim alimony, however, children born out of such relation have equal right as of the wife and children born out of your marriage. 

Now it is bargaining power of partners to pay or not to pay any amount, which cannot be claimed as a matter of right.

You have willfully done wrong. Now, you want to take advantage of your own own wrongdoing to the detriment of your partner. 

It is well settled in law as well equity that the wrong-doer cannot seek any advanatge of his wrondoing.

The settlement between you and the second wife is a private affair.

Your second marriage admittedly is null and void, however you may have to pay maintenance to her and the child.
