your wife has left you nearly a year back . have you during said period taken any steps to bring her back . ?
if your wife refuses to stay with you file for divorce on grounds of cruelty . you can also file case for RCR but it can boomerang as your wife can then file 498A / DV case against you

You better act faster and file a suit for divorce or RCR.
Matrimonial suit always helps to mitigate the effect of 498A case.

Take the help of near relatives, nears and dears for getting amicable solution. If you proceed for divorce except for Mutual consent Divorce you should be prepared to bear slap of Domestic Violence case, Dowry act case, maintenance case and other related cases.

You have to defend the case under section 498A on merits.
