Divorce petition as per S.19 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 can be filed only at the following places :-

i) Place of solemnization of marriage;
ii) place where spouses last resided together;
iii) place where the wife resides.

Thank you respected Adv. Bharat Chugh. As per your advice I can file a petition in mumbai as the last place where we resided together is Mumbai. Although our native place is UP.
