Leander Paes Plea Seeks To Quash Court's Order Over 1 Lakh Monthly Maintenance to Rhea Pillai
News 18Indian tennis ace Leander Paes recently moved to Mumbai sessions court in an appeal against a metropolitan magistrate court’s order in February which directed Paes to pay monthly maintenance of Rs 1 lakh to his former partner Rhea Pillai and monthly rent of Rs 50,000 if she moved out of their shared residence. The Court had also mentioned that the tennis legend had “caused various acts of domestic violence" to Pillai. Before the magistrate court, Paes submitted that Pillai’s plea was not maintainable under the Act since she was married to Dutt when they both started dating and living together and only got divorced from her previous marriage in 2008. The court then also stated that even though Pillai was still married legally when she began living with Paes, the fact of “existence of relationship beyond marriage is undeniable."
