Calcutta, January 23

A court in Kolkata on Monday ordered Indian pacesetter Mohammed Shami to pay his estranged wife Hasin Jahan a monthly alimony of Rs. 1.30 (Rs. 1.30 lakh).

Of the Rs 1.30 lakh, Rs 50,000 is the personal maintenance of Hasin Jahan and the remaining Rs 80,000 is the maintenance of her daughter who is staying with her.

In 2018, Hasin Jahan filed a lawsuit in the court, claiming a monthly alimony payment from Hasan of Rs 10,000, of which Rs 7,00,000 is her personal alimony and the remaining Rs 3,00,000 for her alimony expenses Daughter.

Her solicitor Mriganka Mistry told the court that according to the Indian pacemaker’s income tax returns for fiscal year 2020-1 his annual income for that tax year was over Rs 7 crore and on that basis the claim for one month alimony of Rs 10 lakh was not unjustified .

However, Selim Rahman, Shami’s lawyer, claimed that the demand for this large amount of alimony was unjustified as Hasin Jahan himself has a steady source of income from working as a professional model.

Finally, after hearing both sides, the lower court on Monday set the monthly alimony at Rs 1.30 lakh. Hasin Jahan expressed her gratitude for the court’s order but claimed she would have been relieved if the monthly alimony had been higher. There was no response from the Indian pacemaker to that count until the report was filed.

In September last year, following the Indian team’s win over Pakistan at the Asian Cup, Hasin Jahan shared on social media a photo of Hardik Pandya leading India to victory with a six, where he made a disguised attack on Shami, who was it was not in the Indian squad.

“Congratulations. A memorable victory. Thank you to our Tigers for helping the country win. This had to happen; the country’s reputation and honor are protected by honest patriots rather than criminals and womanizers,” her post read at the time. The post sparked widespread outrage among fans, with many criticizing Hasin Jahan for her veiled attack on Shami.
