You can file case from the place you are currently living, no problem!

If you are living at your parental home, then you can file case of divorce in the Court of the City where your parental home is.

yes, you were admittedly married at Kanpur (U.P.) and your parents shifted to Indore (M.P. ) ,Your husband deserted you lastly at Indore (M.P.) so you got cause of action also at Indore(M.P.) Cruelty which is a ground for dissolution of marriage may be defined as wilful and unjustifiable conduct of such character as to cause danger to life, limb or health, bodily or mental, or as to give rise to a reasonable apprehension of such a danger. The question of mental cruelty has to be considered in the light of the norms of marital ties of the particular society, to which the parties belong, their social values, status, environment in which they live. Cruelty need not be physical. If from the conduct of the spouse it is established or an inference can be legitimately drawn that the treatment of the spouse is such that it causes apprehension in the mind of the other spouse, about his or her mental welfare then this conduct amounts to cruelty; Maya Devi v. Jagdish Prasad, AIR 2007 SC 1426.
