Dear sir/Madam,
You have both option , you can file bigamy case before police station or Court, if you want any monthly maintenase from her husband, she has to file complaint before court only. Court is bettr option to get all relief.

In bigamy case you can file complaint either in police station or directly to court.. It is more effective to file a complaint in the court.. You can file complaint at BENGALURU or shimoga.. You can file a complaint in BENGALURU it is very convenient for you to attend the court regularly.

Hi ,

U should go to the police station and file a complaint first .
Since ur relative is residing in Bangalore , she can file a complaint before the jurisdictional police in Bangalore...
