even if you had seperated from Delhi, you still have rightly filed your case in Mumbai. Wife has the privelege of filing her cases from the places where she is currently residing. If husband has filed a different case at any other place (as in your case at Delhi) you can get that case transferred from Delhi to Mumbai by application before Supreme Court of India. Meanwhile you must write to the Court at Delhi that you have filed a case at Mumbai.
you cannot prove the fact unless you defend yourself in the case filed by your husband in delhi. for that you may hire a lawyer in delhi who would defend your case and try to get the same transferred to mumbai.
