There is no bar in filling for divorce on the ground of cruelty or any other grounds as allowed under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act (Assuming that both the parties are Hindu). If the wife choose not to appear ever after receiving the summons, then the court will proceed ex-parte and grant the divorce. otherwise, during the pendency of the divorce proceedings, the wife is entitled to maintenance pendente lite under section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act. Also, when the court persons comes to serve the summon on your wife, make sure the wife signs on the summons either receiving it or refusing to receive it. otherwise she can file for setting aside of ex-parte divorce if granted by the court.
