Its a criminal offence to have 2 wives at the same time as per the Hindu Marriage act. You can definitely file a case against him in the Indian courts, provided you have all the marriage documents with you and if the other woman is also unaware of this situation, she can also file the case against him.
His marriage is ''so called'' legal as per India laws, till everyone is unaware of the situation.

good luck
