‘In a position to pay more': Calcutta HC orders Mohammed Shami to pay Rs 4 lakh a month as interim maintenance to wife, daughter
Cricketer Mohammed Shami has been ordered by the Calcutta High Court to pay an interim amount of Rs 4 lakh per month as alimony to his estranged wife Hasin Jahan and their daughter. On Tuesday, Justice Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee directed that Rs 1,50,000 be paid to the wife and Rs 2,50,000 to the daughter until the disposal of a case of alleged domestic violence against Shami. The court said that the amounts would 'be fair and reasonable to ensure financial stability for both the petitioners until the disposal of the main application'. '(The) amount is to be paid by the husband from the date of filing of the application under section 23 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence (PWDV) Act,' the court said. In 2023, a district sessions court had ordered that Shami pay Rs 1.30 lakh a month in total to his wife and daughter. This order had been challenged by Shami's wife in the Calcutta High Court. The Calcutta HC Justice said in his order, 'It is not clear what was the basis of fixing the interim maintenance amounts (of) Rs 50,000 and Rs 80,000 in the context of the affidavit of assets and liabilities and other materials placed on record in support of (Shami's) income,' while also noting that the question of granting an 'excessive' amount of alimony and maintenance does not arise. Stating that Shami 'is in a position to pay a higher amount', the High Court said, 'The petitioner wife, who has remained unmarried and is living independently with the child, is entitled to a levelled maintenance that she enjoyed during her marriage which reasonably secures her future as well as the future of the child.' Speaking to The Indian Express, Hasin Jahan said, 'We are relieved at the order. As a father, if he gave the alimony before, it would have benefitted the child. Now, I can send her to a good school and give her all that she has been deprived of. He has never tried to communicate with his own daughter.' In her plea to the district sessions court in 2023, Jahan had sought Rs 10 lakh in total — Rs 7 lakh for herself and Rs 3 lakh for her daughter. Shami married Hasin Jahan in 2014. In 2018, Jahan had lodged an FIR at the Jadavpur police station against him and his family alleging 'physical and mental torture' under Section 12 of the PWDV Act and 'sustained indifference and neglect' of her minor daughter. She had also accused Shami of harassment for dowry, match fixing and avoiding 'responsibility' for her family's expenses.

In-laws told to provide woman accommodation or pay her rent
New Delhi: Directing the in-laws of a woman to either arrange accommodation for her or pay the rent for her separate stay, a court has observed that an aggrieved person under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act has the right to reside in the shared household even in the absence of actual residence in it. Citing a Supreme Court ruling, the court of additional sessions judge Sharad Gupta said in his June 6 order that a woman couldn't be excluded from the shared household even if she didn't actually reside there. The petitioner, Shalini Chauhan, alleged that after her marriage in 2021 in Faridabad, she was subjected to domestic violence, following which she decided to live separately. The court was hearing her appeal against an order of a magisterial court in Sept 2023, which did not issue directions on the issue of accommodation. Vineet Chauhan, her husband who is absconding, didn't give interim maintenance to her since Jan 2023. The appellant, through her advocate Archana Sharma, said she was facing financial difficulties as her husband had filed a plea claiming he wasn't involved in any violence and not liable to pay maintenance. The judge directed the father and brother of the husband to either permit the woman to reside in the matrimonial home or arrange a separate rented premises and pay Rs 7,000 per month for rent for six months from the date of the order or until the final disposal of the complaint of the appellant under PWDV Act. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The court observed that there was nothing on record to suggest that the relationship between the husband and his family members was peaceful or that he was colluding with them. "Rather, as per record, the respondent no. 1 has abandoned his parents as well as his wife. Thus, considering that the appellant was living in the matrimonial home prior to the breakdown of relationships, the respondents would have to provide some shelter or rent to the appellant for a reasonable period of time," the judge said.
