MEENAKASHI vs K.SELVAMANI — Crl.A. No. 1636/2014

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 001636/2014 (Meenakashi v. K. Selvamani) The Supreme Court allowed Meenakashi's appeal against the Madras High Court's order that had quashed bigamy proceedings against K. Selvamani. The Court held that the High Court erred by requiring proof of religious marriage ceremonies at the Section 482 CrPC petition stage, when such proof is only required during trial. The matter was remanded to the trial court to proceed from the pending stage. Two related appeals (Crl.A. Nos. 1637-38/2014) involving similar bigamy allegations were similarly allowed and remanded, while a third petition (SLP No. 6278/2010) was dismissed.
