Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has suffered a legal blow, with the Calcutta High Court directing him to pay Rs 4 lakh per month in alimony to his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan.
The order, passed by Justice Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, mandates a monthly payment of Rs 1.5 lakh for Jahan’s personal maintenance and Rs 2.5 lakh for the upbringing of their minor daughter.
The ruling follows an appeal by Jahan against a 2018 Alipore Court order, which had directed Shami to pay Rs 50,000 per month to her and an additional Rs 80,000 for their daughter. Jahan had initially demanded Rs 10 lakh in monthly maintenance—Rs 7 lakh for herself and Rs 3 lakh for the child—which was rejected by the lower court.
