Officially you need to get divorce first before starting with any relationship with someone else. You must file for divorce here in Delhi if you're residing here according to Hindu Marriage Act, and will have to contest divorce,if your wife is not ready for a Mutual Consent Divorce.
Having a Section 9 order in your favor will be a good ground for you to contest divorce.
