You can file cases under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, which relates to spousal torture, and under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (DV Act in short). While your husband would be prosecuted under IPC and would face jail time, he would be ordered to pay maintenance under the DV Act.

You should file a case under section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act in Judicial Magistrate Court claiming maintenance and residence right. You should also file a Suit for Declaration and Recovery of Possession in Civil Court.
