As per your query
Firstly, If your wifes name is in the agreement for sale as co-purchaser then, in that case you need to get executed a deed of release from your wife in your favour. The same would attract stamp duty for 50% of flat value.
Secondly, as dispute between you and your wife is in the court and if your wife is willing for mutual consent divorce then ask her waive her right the said flat.
Thirdly, if your wife is not ready to waive her right as mentioned above, you need to file a suit for declaration as owner of the flat.
