The ongoing legal tussle between Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami and his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, has resurfaced in the Supreme Court. Jahan has filed a fresh plea demanding an enhanced maintenance allowance, arguing that the current amount sanctioned by the Calcutta High Court is insufficient to meet her and her daughter’s expenses. According to the petition, the earlier order granting ₹1.5 lakh monthly for Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh for their daughter failed to reflect the cricketer’s financial stature. The apex court has issued notices to both Shami and the West Bengal government, directing responses within four weeks. During the preliminary hearing, the bench observed that the granted sum was “quite handsome” for interim maintenance but decided to consider Jahan’s claim on merits. The next hearing is expected to determine whether the quantum of alimony warrants a revision. Read also: Mohammed Shami Snubbed Again: Is His India Career Coming to an End? Legal Dispute Rekindles After Years of Silence The dispute between the couple dates back to 2018, when Jahan lodged complaints against Shami alleging domestic abuse and infidelity. The controversy escalated into a criminal investigation under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code. Shami, however, was later cleared by the BCCI of any corruption-related charges. Despite the prolonged friction, the pacer has maintained a restrained stance, choosing to focus on cricket. In a previous interview, Shami said he preferred to avoid personal controversies and concentrate solely on his professional career. He said, “Leave that. I never regret the past. What’s gone is gone. I don’t want to blame anyone, including myself. I want to focus on my cricket. I don’t need these controversies." In another one, he has said, “That’s your job to investigate. Why do you want to hang us to death? Look at the other side as well. I focus on cricket, not controversies." For now, the Supreme Court’s notice marks another turn in a case that has remained under legal scrutiny for over six years. Both parties are expected to submit affidavits before the next scheduled hearing.
