Yes the process can be initiated while he is in india but will be culminated after 6 months. His absence on second hearing can be waived off. The divorce will however be granted on the second hearing on expiry of 6 months.

Divorce does not end the 498 proceedings. In your case you have already availed the remedy available to you. As you have gone for quashing before the Punjab And Haryana High Court at chandigarh. You can file a complaint before the punjab state commission for NRIs also. That will exert pressure on the other party, and that will help you.
