1.) Just on the basis of wrong affidavit court cannot treat the petition as null and void.
2.) Yes you can file divorce and interim maintenance in single petition.
3.) That means you need to pay her a litigation cost incurred by her on first date.

Hi,
In reply to your first query it is true to say that court can take suitable action for filing affidavit with false statements.
In reply to second query, the application under section 24 HMA can be filed along with divorce petition.
In reply to third query, she has asked the cost of petition.

Court can treat Divorce proceedings as not maintainable if affidavit is false and fraudulent. Yes maintenance application can be filed in divorce proceedings under Hindu Marriage Act. Costs mean legal costs incurred by her in pursuing divorce proceedings.
