Without divorce, he cannot remarry the 2nd wife.  It is bigamy.  But his 1st wife is no more, the complainant has to prove that he married 2nd wife when his 1st wife was alive.

Whether first wife has filed any complaint u/s 494 IPC and informed the employer ? If so, second marriage is illegal and invalid, however, children born out of this (second) marriage are legitimate.

Had he already submitted the nomination in respect of his first wife and childre? What are the details furnished?

What is the explanation furnished by him in respect of the second/revised nomination? What are the particulars furnished? When was the nomination furnished?
