'Best Moment For Hasin Jahan': Lawyer Reacts To Alimony Battle Win Vs Mohammed Shami
Last Updated: Mohammed Shami's estranged wife Hasin Jahan has won alimony case as Calcutta High Court directs Shami to pay Rs 4 lakh monthly for her and their daughter. Star India pacer Mohammed Shami's estranged wife, Hasin Jahan's lawyer Imtiaz Ahmed, has said that she has been running from pillar to post for six years now, and it is the best moment for her to be able to ensure that her former husband pays her a monthly alimony. The Calcutta High Court has directed Shami to pay his estranged wife, Jahan and daughter an alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance during the ongoing legal battle with his spouse. Jahan had moved the HC against a district sessions court's order directing the player to pay Rs 50,000 to his wife and Rs 80,000 to her daughter two years back. 'It was the best moment for Hasin Jahan. From 2018 to 2024, she had been running from pillar to post. Ultimately, it was pronounced in open court yesterday that ₹1.5 lakh would be provided for Hasin Jahan, ₹2.5 lakh for the daughter (both to be paid monthly) and that any time the daughter requires assistance, it would be provided by Md Shami," Imtiaz said while speaking to ANI. Jahan had lodged an FIR at the Jadavpur police station against Shami and his family in March 2018, four years after their marriage in April 2014, alleging 'enormous physical and mental torture" under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence (PWDV) Act. Besides domestic violence, Jahan accused Shami of dowry harassment and match-fixing while alleging that the latter had stopped shouldering financial responsibility for running her family expenses. Jahan had prayed for monetary relief, including an interim monetary relief of Rs 7 lakh every month for herself and an additional Rs 3 lakh for her daughter. The magistrate, while disposing of her application, had rejected her plea for monetary relief and directed the pacer a pay Rs 80,000 towards his minor daughter. On appeal, the order was later modified, directing Shami to a payment of Rs 50,000 to his wife and Rs 80,000 to his daughter.

Indian Pacer Shami Forced Me To Quit Modelling And Become A Housewife, Says His Estranged Wife
Last Updated: The Calcutta High Court ordered cricketer Mohammed Shami to pay Rs 4 lakh monthly alimony to his estranged wife Hasin Jahan and their daughter. Indian pacer Mohammed Shami's estranged wife on Monday said that the cricketer forced her to quit modelling and become a housewife after she married him. Hasin Jahan's statement came after the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed Shami to pay his estranged wife and daughter a monthly alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance during the ongoing legal battle with his spouse. Jahan had moved the high court against a district sessions court's order directing the cricketer to pay Rs 50,000 to his wife and Rs 80,000 to her daughter in 2023. Since she does not earn, Jahan said Shami has to bear all the responsibility for her maintenance. Jahan also said that given the status Shami enjoys, she and her daughter have the right to maintain the same standard of living. 'I used to model and act before I got married. Shami forced me to quit my profession. He wanted me to live only a housewife's life. I loved Shami so much that I happily accepted it… But now I have no earnings of my own. Shami has to bear all the responsibility for our maintenance. That is why we had to approach the court when he denied this. Thank God there is a law in our country which orders people to bear their responsibilities… If you are entering a relationship with someone, it is not written on their face that they have a poor character, are a criminal, or will play with your and your daughter's future… I too became a victim like this," she told ANI. After the High Court's ruling, Jahan's advocate Imtiaz Ahmed said, 'It was the best moment for Hasin Jahan. From 2018 to 2024, she had been running from pillar to post… Ultimately, it was pronounced in open court yesterday that Rs 1.5 lakh would be provided for Hasin Jahan, Rs 2.5 lakh for the daughter (both to be paid monthly), and that any time the daughter requires assistance, it would be provided by Md Shami." 'The High Court has directed the trial court to dispose of the main application of the interim order within six months. There is a high chance that when they return to the trial court to conclude the hearing on maintenance, it might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh because the claim of Hasin Jahan in her maintenance application was for Rs 7 lakh and Rs 3 lakh," he added. Shami & Jahan Jahan had lodged an FIR at the Jadavpur police station against Shami and his family in March 2018, four years after their marriage in April 2014, alleging 'enormous physical and mental torture" under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violation (PWDV) Act, 2005 and 'sustained indifference and neglect" of her minor daughter. Besides domestic violence, she also accused Shami of dowry harassment and match-fixing while alleging that Shami had stopped shouldering financial responsibility for running her family expenses. She had prayed for monetary relief, including an interim monetary relief of Rs 7 lakh per month for herself and an additional Rs 3 lakh for her daughter. The magistrate, while disposing of her application, had initially rejected her prayer for monetary relief and directed the pacer a monthly payment of Rs 80,000 towards his minor daughter. On appeal, the order was later modified, directing Shami to a monthly payment of Rs 50,000 to his wife and Rs 80,000 to his daughter. First Published:
