If 1st marriage is not registered and you marriage is registered before marriage officer under the act then you are the legal husband . Approach high court to quash the 494 proceeding and file case for restitution of conjugal life

First of all notary is not empowered to register marriage, hence on basis of that document no case made out against you. Your in-law will have no case against you on that score. If your wife wants to stay with you no one can prohibit her doing it.

How she can show a document which you have not signed. You have to verify when the document signed, what time, where were you at that time. Make sure you have some evidence of your presence at that time somewhere else

Yes Sir, You can get back your wife, legally. Your Father in law has no right to keep your wife.
You can file a Habeas Writ in the High Court of Orissa to get back your wife.
Further your case need to be reviewed. You can contact me with all papers.
