You cannot do both together - i.e. seek for conjugal right as well as maintenance. You need to decide, what you want to do, (i) You want to separate or (ii) want the marriage to continue.
Once you decide this take advise of a local lawyer and initiate appropriate action.
Your matter can come in family court at Bandra.
