Celina Jaitly Rebuts Defamation Notices From Estranged Husband and Father‑in‑Law

The exchange marks a legal escalation in a cross‑border custody and abuse dispute with possible parallel proceedings in Indian and Austrian courts.

Overview

  • Celina Jaitly said on Friday that she received two legal notices sent by her estranged husband Peter Haag and his father Wolfgang Haag accusing her of making false and defamatory public statements.
  • Jaitly and her lawyers at Karanjawala & Co. say they have formally replied to the notices and that she will continue to pursue evidence and remedies before competent courts.
  • The notices were issued by Semwal & Co. on behalf of Peter and Wolfgang Haag and complained about interviews, social posts, and media coverage during the ongoing matrimonial and custody dispute.
  • Jaitly has previously filed a domestic violence case and told reporters she supports joint custody but currently lacks contact with her children and fears they could be moved outside Indian and Austrian jurisdiction.
  • The dispute now combines criminal, custody and civil elements across India and Austria and could trigger further legal filings and enforcement questions that affect access to the children and cross‑border court cooperation.
