Shami and Jahan, who tied the knot in 2014, have been fighting a bitter legal case since 2018. Jahan had accused Shami of domestic violence and infidelity. Speaking to PTI after the judgment, Jahan welcomed the decision but said the amount was still not enough considering Shami’s wealth.

‘ ₹4 Lakh Is Less’

“The way he leads his lifestyle, ₹4 lakh is less. We demanded ₹10 lakh four years ago. The cost of living has increased now. And we will demand it again. This judgment is a big win for me. I’m thankful to Imtiaz bhai (Jahan’s advocate) and the Hon’ble Judge of the High Court. But I still think we should be getting a higher amount of money so I can take care of our daughter and meet her needs,” Jahan told PTI.

Her lawyer Imtiaz Ahmed also called the verdict an important win but said they would push for a higher amount during the final hearing.

“There is a high chance that when they return to the trial court to conclude the hearing on maintenance, it might be upgraded to ₹6 lakh because the claim of Hasin Jahan in her maintenance application was for ₹7 lakh and ₹3 lakh,” Ahmed was quoted as saying by NDTV.

 Years-Long Legal Fight

The couple’s legal fight began in 2018 when Jahan filed a case against Shami and his family in the Alipore court, accusing them of domestic abuse. At that time, the court had ordered Shami to pay ₹80,000 per month as interim support for their daughter.

Shami has mostly stayed silent about the case in public. For now, he is legally required to pay the ₹4 lakh every month, though the final maintenance amount will be decided after the trial court hearing.
