Legal Question in Family Law in India

Dear Experts

I need one opinion from you. I want to know that what is the rule for filing divorce

As per rule, is it 1 year after marriage or 1 year after seperation that we can file divorce ?

e.g I had got married in Oct'11 and got seperated in Apr'12, so as per law when can i file the dovorce petition ?

I am not in a hurry, i want to delay the filing of petition as much as possible, so if girl side force us to file in Oct.. Can we say that as per rule, we can file in Apr only ?
