A contentious litigation like this may take years. You should make efforts for an amicable out of court settlement on mutually agreeable terms. Even if some terms are unfavourable to you, try to avoid litigation.
You can file the case where you last reside or where marriage occured or like so.
Further you may get exemption from court not to attend the court on every hearing.
2) you can get the divorce even other cases are pending but it will take a long time and depends upon your counsel how he manage and take the grounds for divorce.
Generaly in mutual divorce 6 months and in other cases it takes years.

In criminal case you have to attend the court regularly but in civil you need not attend the same except at the time of evidence. You can file the divorce case and it is totally seperated from the others. Generally in case of divorce the time limit is not less than 2 years it may be increase.
1) Can i attend the court continously every hearing time because am in other place getting leave very difficult?
YOU LAWYER CAN REPRESENT YOU ON EVERY HEARING AS HE WOULD BE HOLDING YOUR VAKALATNAMA. YOU DONT HAVE TO APPEAR IN PERSON ON EVERY HEARING.
2) Can i get divorce if all above cases are pending?
YES, DIVORCE IS A CIVIL REMEDY AND OTHER CASES ARE CRIMINAL IN NATURE. YOU CAN ALSO MAKE THE ABOVE CASES AS ONE OF THE GROUNDS OF CRUELTY INFLICTED UPON YOU.
3) If i can filed divorce case how many days i need to attend the court?
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, YOUR LAWYER CAN REPRESENT YOU.
4)If i can filed divoce case can i ask for hearing days on saturdays?
YES YOU CAN.
5) Generally how many days it will take to complete to all the process.
IT DEPENDS ON THE COURT, YOUR LAWYER AND OPPOSITE LAWYER AS WELL. IN CASE THE COURT IS ACTIVE ENOUGH, THE MATTER CAN BE DISPOSED OFF WITHIN MONTHS.
