A.Dear client,
He cannot file a case against you. However, he can be prosecuted for bigamy. Marrying another person while being married to someone is known as ‘Bigamy’ and has been declared an offence under Indian Penal Code in India. Bigamy is a NON-cognizable offense. It is bailable and compoundable with the permission of court if the offense is committed under section 494 of the IPC. Punishment is imprisonment, which may extend till 7 years or fine or both
