BENGALURU: Bigamy is a continuing offence and consent given by a wife or wives would be immaterial for considering the offence, the HC observed in a recent judgement, while refusing to quash proceedings against a man and his third wife, reports Vasanth Kumar.
However, proceedings against four others - relatives and friends of the accused - have been quashed. Anand C alias Anku Gowda, 77, his third wife and four others had challenged the proceedings pending before a Channapatna court.
