You may also file for anticipatory bail before the sessions court having jurisdiction at the police station wherein your wife may give allegation against you though to confirm your anticipation you should file for bail after any formal complaint is given against you before the police station.

Unless and until FUR is registered you can not apply for anticipatory bail. 

The application for anticipatory bail will have to be filed in the Sessions court or the high court which has territorial jurisdiction over the Police Station wherein the FIR is registered.

So prepare accordingly.

- Until your wife files a complaint against your parents before the Women cell or magistrate for lodging an FIR , there is no requirement for getting anticipatory bail. 

- Since, the divorce petition is going on then for proving her case she can depose against your parents. 

- Even you will file an anticipatory application for bail , then court will not allow in the absence of an FIR , and only on apprehension.

Dear sir, 

In such situation you have to file an application for anticipatory bail and not regular bail. 

Generally, the application for anticipatory bail is filed in the High Court or Court of Session within whose jurisdiction the cause of action arises or the offence has been committed or the case has been instituted. However, a lot of High Courts have held that in exceptional circumstances, the application can be filed at the place of residence where arrest is anticipated. There should basically be a satisfactory reason and such reasons should be proved sufficiently before the local court.

1. File for Restitution of Conjugal Rights and the court will send notice to her last known address  provided by you.

If the notice can't be served on her, give a public notice in local language along with English language newspapers.

2.  Then if she does not respond to the RCR case, you may get ex-parte order in your favour.

3.   Based on favourable order of RCR, if your wife does not join you, then her refusal to join you itself can be a very good ground for obtaining divorce from her.

4. Since she has abandoned you voluntarily, there may not be any need for you to pay her maintenance/alimony amount.

5. Based on her abandoning you in your marital life, on that ground, file for contested Divorce and since she may not going to attend divorce proceedings, inspite of repeated notices sent to her alongwith publishing of Public Notice in local language and English newspapers in her place, the Court may likely to grant you ex-parte divorce.

-  Under the Hindu Marriage Act, Separation is a ground of Divorce, if the husband and wife have been living separately for more than two years at the time of filing petition. 

- Further, if the separation is more than 2 years period, then even without a reason, is a ground for a Divorce decree.

- You should file a divorce petition before the court for getting the Divorce legally, on the ground of long period separation & Cruelty.
