Calcutta HC orders Mohammad Shami to give ₹4 lakh monthly maintenance
The Calcutta High Court has increased temporary spousal support for cricketer Mohammad Shami, requesting him to pay ₹1.5 lakh to his estranged wife Hasin Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh to their daughter. The ruling mirrors the huge earnings of Shami—about ₹60 lakh per month in FY 2021—and is an attempt to sustain the family’s pre-separation standard of living. Earlier, a district court had ordered a total of just ₹1.3 lakh; Jahan had initially asked for ₹10 lakh.
