Contested divorce apeal after 120days of orginal degree


16-Mar-2024 (In Divorce Law)
I'm a christian. I got contested divorce from my first wife. After 90 days from the degree date I got remarried. After appeal period My ex-wife has filed an apeal in HC with delay petition 151CPC section 1681 . I got private notice to appear in HC after 6 months from the orginal degree date. Any possibility to showing my second marriage and ask the HC to dismiss the apeal as it has been filed after apeal period? Is my second marriage valid? Will it come under bigamy?

Usually the delay is calculated from the date of receipt of the order copy. Usually , the courts would consider the current circumstances and try to pass suitable orders. But there are cases where despite the second marriage, the divorce decree was set aside. As per my understanding , you married after the Appeal period , so it would be considered Bigamy. You can contest the delay condonation petition and the appeal on merits.
