Denial of marital rights amounts to cruelty.
You can either file for restitution of conjugal rights in the family court and seek restitution or you can file for divorce.
Divorce process
I got married on 27th April 2001. Me and my wife lived together around 1 and half years since marriage. Due to some reason I asked her to go to her parent's place and as soon as I get the job I will call you back. She agreed and gone. After getting job in a very reputed company I asked her to come back and I am coming to you to bring you. She denied to come back and told me neither I will come to you nor give you divorce. Till date status is same. I could not attempt to take legal action as I used to live very far from my place due to my job. Meanwhile she started practice as advocate in Allahabad High Court and I am a Signalling Engineer in a multinational company in Mumbai. I belong to Kanpur Uttar Pradesh and she belongs to Allahabad Uttar Pradesh. Our last meeting was on November 2009 and since that there is no contact between us. Kindly suggest me for appropriate action in this regards. Regards. ASHEESH MALAVIYA +[deleted]

File petition for restitution of conjugal right
First of all you decide what you want. If you want to keep her with you then you should file RCR under section 9 of Hindu marriage act just to stay with you. Moreover you have not told why she is not staying with you . other action will depend on the the reason why she is not staying with you. Moreover you have not mentioned why you want divorce. If it is only reason then you may file for divorce after section 9 case if she refuse to stay with you as this itself will sufficient ground for divorce which will be proved by section 9 case that she is staying away with you without any reasonable cause a ground for divorce under Hindu marriage act
Firslty, as per the information provided by you in the present query, it seems that it is the case where marriage can’t be put at the previous stage.
Secondly, you should give her a notice for divorce to go for the mutual otherwise you would recaurse to other legal way.

Hello,
File a case for restitution of conjugal rights and never say anyone that you asked her to leave , always say that she left the home voluntarily and did not entertain you when you ask her to come.
