desertion is never b/w. either she or he deserted. who deserted whom?
if, she deserted without valid reason under HAMA Act, she may not be eligible for maintenance
she can file a maintenance case separately or if court is pleased continue same proceedings, but ensure court fee issue is sorted out.
she can also ask for restitution of conjugal right, if she did not desert him

Maintenance is a different thing. The wife can approach the window of the Justice by filing separate maintenance application
