husband can merely request wife to join him as per court order . but husband cannot force his wife to join him .

if inspite of court orders wife refuses to join husband can file for divorce . a wife who refuses to live with her husband without just cause cannot claim maintenance

Nobody can be compelled to cohabit through an order of the court. If the wife does not come for cohabitation in spite of the RCR decree, the husband can file for divorce after one year of the decree.
