If you want to save your marriage then you can seek help from family elders for reunion. Otherwise you can go for judicial separation or divorce depending on your choice. Adultery can also be a ground for divorce in addition to other grounds.

if you have substantial evidence to prove that your husband has extramartial affair then you can file a criminal case against him under section 494 of Indian penal code.

or you can get divorce from that person..

you have to decide whether to punish such person or to get rid of this person from your life.

Be wise & bold,

Yes you can approach the court for divorce .There is ground that if your husband is having sexual intercourse with any other women, you can get a legal separation provided you should prove your case.
meanwhile file a maintenance petition too for your expenses
