It is better to you that you have to file divorce petition in Dubai
And disclose the fact that your husband is behind the bar
You will get the divorce
You can also file the divorce petition in India also
But there is a period of divorce for near about 1 and half year in indian judiaciary

Dear client as u both r Indian so u have to file divorce in India. Before coming India collect papers regarding husband arrest. Then file divorce in India and court will send summons to Dubai jail. If yr husband not come here u will get ex-party divorce. For any legal help call me

If you are ready to do with mutual consent then it can be possible. But the court need presence of both husband and wife to get the divorce done mutually. There is another way to do so. But have to approah embassy for the same.
