The situation you mentioned does constitute the offence of bigamy as the previous marriage was not yet declared as a null from an appropriate court of law and hence it can’t be said to have been dissolved as per law. Therefore entering into a subsequent marriage before nullifying of the first one is an offence as per section 494 of IPC. The matter will be heard on the next date fixed by the court.
