Overview
- An Andheri metropolitan magistrate directed both parties to submit income affidavits by January 27 and asked Peter Haag to file his reply to the petition.
- The appearance was the first hearing since Jaitly filed a case in November under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act.
- Jaitly is seeking Rs 100 crore in compensation and Rs 10 lakh per month in maintenance, alleging sustained physical, verbal and emotional abuse.
- Her petition details coercive control and financial misappropriation claims, including a disputed 2019 gift deed for her Mumbai flat and an alleged undisclosed sale of a Vienna property.
- Parallel legal action is underway in Austria, where Haag filed for divorce and a court reportedly allowed Jaitly one hour of daily telephonic contact with their children.
