Team India pacer Mohammed Shami makes news again, but this time it’s not about cricket, it’s about a legal battle with his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan
Hasin Jahan has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court seeking an increase in monthly maintenance from ₹4 lakh to ₹10 lakh for herself and their daughter
The Calcutta High Court had earlier ordered Shami to pay ₹4 lakh per month, ₹1.5 lakh for Hasin Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh for their daughter
Hasin Jahan argued that Shami’s net worth is around ₹500 crore and that their living standards should match those of other elite cricketers’ families
A Supreme Court bench questioned her lawyers — 'Isn’t ₹4 lakh per month sufficient?', while issuing notices to Shami and the West Bengal government
The case remains under review as the Supreme Court awaits responses from Mohammed Shami and the state government before further hearings
