Yes you can successfully go for the annulment as it the first ground that is “either spouse was already married to someone else at the time of the marriage in question”. He can also be booked for bigamy. Since there was no cohabitation then you can also file for divorce against him. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

In M.M. Malhotra v. Union of India, the court held that husband married a woman during subsistence of his first marriage. Such marriage being null and void, his subsequent marriage to another women would not be case of plural marriage.

You may file a petition for annulment within a period of 1 year from the date when such fraud came to Known to you
