No, ground for desertion  cannot be added at this stage in a divorce case pending for adjudication on the ground of crulty

No, it may not be straightforward to add desertion as grounds to a divorce petition in legal divorce that was initially based on the Hindu Marriage Act prescribes two continuous years for it.
