What is the jurisdiction of bigamy case?

A second marriage took place in Bellary town without giving me a divorce. Now I am in Hassan district. Will the jurisdiction come in Hassan to put the case of bigamy through PCR? Some people are saying that the jurisdiction does not come here because there is a second marriage in Bellary.

Traditionally, the courts where the second marriage took place hold jurisdiction for bigamy cases. Your current place of residence can also have jurisdiction. Since you're the aggrieved party, courts might be willing to hear your case, especially if you've been residing there for an long period. Contact us on helpline number for further enquiry.
