The Calcutta High Court has ordered cricketer Mohammed Shami to pay an interim amount of Rs 4 lakh per month as alimony to his estranged wife Hasin Jahan and their daughter, amid the ongoing legal case with his spouse. Justice Dr Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee directed that Rs 1,50,000 be paid to his wife and Rs 2,50,000 to the daughter until the disposal of a case of alleged domestic violence against Shami.

The court said the amounts would “be fair and reasonable” to ensure financial stability for both the wife and daughter “until the disposal of the main application”.
“Such amount is to be paid by the opposite party/husband from the date of filing of the application under section 23 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,” the court added.
