ya..
The judgment reported as Lily Thomas versus Union of India, 2000 (6) SCC 224 unequivocally declares that if the first marriage was under any personal law where there is a prohibition on contracting a second marriage during the lifetime of the spouse, as in Hindu or Christian law, then a second marriage performed under Muslim law would make the person liable for prosecution for bigamy.

I completely agree to @ I am Altruist
hence a good case for bigamy charges squarely fits to the facts.
Nothing more to value add after this!
