Additional Sessions Judge S N Sardesai reserved the case for orders after hearing the arguments from both sides on Wednesday.

The couple, in the application, had challenged the allegations of bigamy levelled by Manyata's first husband Meraj Rehman, an undertrial in a case related to sending obscene SMS' to actresses.

According to the application, the couple has not committed an offence of bigamy as there is no material to prove the validity of their marriage under law.

Challenging the order of a Court in suburban Bandra for legal proceedings against them for bigamy, the couple said their reported marriage in Goa stands null and void.

Dutt and Manyata, in their application, said that in order to prosecute them for bigamous marriage, it is necessary that their marriage must be proved valid.

The Sessions Court had earlier admitted the application and stayed the proceedings issued by the Bandra Court against Dutt and Manyata and had called for the records of the case.

"We have submitted before the Court, three notices sent to Mehraj by the Qazi informing him about his divorce with Manyata," Advocate Rizwan Merchant, appearing for Manyata, said.

Mehraj's lawyer Tasleem Khan however argued before the court on Wednesday that the Qazi, who divorced Manyata and Mehraj is a fraud and thus the divorce is not legal.
