Yes you can apply for the divorce on the ground of desertion.

@ Author,


1. She may have 100’s of reason not to opt for divorce and or mutual consent divorce right now which you can not force her in plain vanilla humane conditions.
2. Yes, with sets of provable allegations from your side as per defined grounds for divorce mentioned in Bare Act you may apply for Divorce in concerned jurisdiction Court of Law by hiring an Advocate of your choice after all due diligence.
3. You can apply there in UK and or here in India. Choice of jurisdiction is a petitioner’s rights whcih is respected in countries following common-law jurisdiction principles.
4. If you apply there in UK and get final award un-contested and if it was awarded not following our grounds for divorce then it will be open for challenge here in India by your wife. If you apply for divorce here in India via Power of Attorney then you have to prepare for its contest as well as physically appear at the time of filing (admission) stage as well as during evidence / cross – examination stage. If later your this plain vanilla divorce by grace of some divine powers gets converted into mutual consent divorce (MCD) and you are reeling under hardship for want of physical present here in India then via Video Conference it may be granted provided video conference facility exists in the concerned Court where it is sub-judice further provided it was not sub-judice before a Family Court as for the later physical presence once is required of a petitioner spouse for going through yes or no process of reconciliation / mediation as is nature of family Court under Family Court Act, 1984 unless you show extremes of non-appearance and still mutual consent divorce without reconciliation is waved off by concerend family Court (not heard by me atleast other ld. brothers from Bar may correct me for which I am throwing myself early)!  
5. You will get divorce and or not is other matter to speak for it at today's vaccum stage. Further your first move for divorce gets converted later into mutual consent divorce (MCD) is also set of future matter at today's vaccum stage. Cannot say today unless in-chamber thoroughly discussed by an Advocate.

BTW, both male and female can apply........................... 

Yes you can file a divorce on the grounds of desertion. But be prepared for the counter cases
