Calcutta High Court Raises Mohammed Shami’s Interim Maintenance to ₹4 Lakh Monthly

Citing his ₹7.19 crore annual income, the court boosted interim support pending resolution of the main domestic violence application.

Overview

  • Justice Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee directed Shami to pay ₹1.5 lakh per month to Hasin Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh to their daughter until the trial court finishes the main case.
  • The order revises the 2023 Alipore Sessions Court award of ₹50,000 for Jahan and ₹80,000 for their daughter to reflect Shami’s financial capacity.
  • The High Court noted Shami’s income tax return for 2021 showed annual earnings of about ₹7.19 crore as justification for higher alimony.
  • Shami remains at liberty to voluntarily contribute additional amounts for his daughter’s education or other reasonable expenses.
  • The primary petition under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act continues before the trial court for final determination.
