Dear Queriest yes you can file divorce under section 13 (1) (a) of the Hindu Marriage act, since you have already faced the situation, it is nothing to do with separation period, for more information about the same kindly call me.

you can file a contested divorce petition irrespective of the period of separation. it is necessary in such a case that you lucidly mention the grounds of divorce so that the same can be contested under section 13 1 ia of The HMA.

Yes you can file a divorce petition against your husband for cruelty.
The separation period is already 11 months and the drafting and filing of the divorce petition will anyway take atleast a month time.
So no need to worry of filing of the case before one year separation period.
