Is it possible to travel abroad while a domestic violence case is pending on you ? Any idea if a US VISA will be granted in case of pending domestic violence case ?

This should not be a problem. Just apply to the court that due to your job (service) requirement, you need to travel abroad for a small duration. Court may give you the necessary permission.
Also, since you are already on regular bail and chargesheet has been filed, you may apply for getting the condition (cannot leave India without court's permission) waived from your bail. However, this process may take some more time (compared to the above).
During your immigration process in the airport, there is no requirement to produce/mention anything in this context (unless asked for). You may travel just like other travellers.

There is no restraint on foreign travel.
The restraint in foreign travel is there only when the court especially in connection with 498A case put condition while giving bail not to travel abroad.
That condition is also modified, waived or altered later on.
