Yes she can file if, relief claimed in DV act is not contradictory to Divorce.  ie if she has asked relief of shared house hold, she can't seek divorce another hand.

There is no relation between Divorce Suit and the case under D.V.Act, so she can institute a  Divorce suit in Family/District Court on cruelty ground. If she is unable to maintatin herself then she can file a Petition for Alimony in the same Court.She can also file a Maintenance case u/sec.125 Cr.P.C. in Judicial Magistrate Court for claiming maintenance allowance.

yes she can file for divorce . how is it that in DV case no interim maintenance has been granted .?

IN DV cases courts generally pass an order for interim maintenance on application by wife at the earliest . in fact Delhi high court has directed that claim  s for interim maintenance should be disposed within period of one year
