The court has ordered Shami to provide monthly maintenance of Rs 4 lakh to Jahan and their daughter — with Rs 1.50 lakh allocated to Jahan and Rs 2.50 lakh for their daughter.Jahan, a former model, married Mohammed Shami in 2014, and the couple had a daughter the following year. In 2018, Jahan accused Shami of domestic violence, leading to their separation. Since then, the two have been engaged in a legal battle over divorce and alimony."I am thankful to God that I finally got victory after fighting such a long battle... Now I will be able to give my daughter a good education and maintain her life easily... If you see the life Shami leads, the status he maintains, his earnings, this amount is nothing in comparison to that... We had demanded Rs 10 lakhs from the court around seven years ago. Since then, Shami's income and inflation have both increased," Jahan said."The status with which he leads his life, my daughter and I also have the right to maintain the same status," she added.Her lawyer, Imtiaz Ahmed, confirmed on Wednesday that Shami will be required to pay Rs 4 lakh per month in maintenance. He also indicated that the amount might be increased."From 2018 to 2024, she had been running from pillar to post. Ultimately, it was pronounced in open court yesterday that Rs 1.5 lakh would be provided for Hasin Jahan, Rs 2.5 lakh for the daughter (both to be paid monthly), and that any time the daughter requires assistance, it would be provided by Mohammed Shami," he said."The High Court has directed the trial court to dispose of the main application of the interim order within six months. There is a high chance that when they return to the trial court to conclude the hearing on maintenance, it might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh because the claim of Hasin Jahan in her maintenance application was for Rs 7 lakh and Rs 3 lakh," Ahmed added.Back in 2018, Hasin Jahan had filed a petition in the Alipore court accusing Shami and his family of domestic abuse and harassment. She had initially demanded Rs 7 lakh per month from the pacer to maintain the family.
