Overview

  • Hasin Jahan has petitioned the Supreme Court to raise monthly maintenance beyond the Calcutta High Court’s ₹4 lakh total award—₹1.5 lakh for her and ₹2.5 lakh for their daughter.
  • The court issued notices to Mohammed Shami and the West Bengal government, directing both to file responses within four weeks.
  • During the hearing, the bench orally described the existing interim amount as “quite handsome” and questioned the need for an increase.
  • Jahan’s plea cites Shami’s earnings and assets, alleges missed maintenance payments, and also challenges an order allowing arrears to be cleared in eight monthly instalments.
  • The dispute dates to 2018 after Jahan’s FIR alleging domestic violence led to a prolonged legal battle, while the BCCI previously cleared Shami of match-fixing allegations.
