A daughter was born to them in July 2015. This was the wife\u2019s second marriage; she also has two daughters from her previous marriage who have lived with her since before this dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breakdown of Dispute:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2018, the relationship turned publicly hostile when Hasin Jahan accused Shami of physical abuse, mental cruelty, and marital infidelity. Posted screenshots of alleged extramarital conversations on social media, triggering national attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, she filed a detailed complaint, leading to: <strong>Jadavpur Police Station. <\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Charges invoked were <\/strong>498A (cruelty), 328 (poisoning), 307 (attempt to murder), 376 (rape), 325 (hurt), and 34 IPC. The police later filed a chargesheet, and the criminal trial is still pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maintenance Proceedings Under Domestic Violence Act:<\/strong> After leaving the matrimonial home, the wife filed an application under section 12 of The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 seeking interim monetary relief totaling \u20b910 lakh\/month, broken down as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wife:<\/strong> \u20b97,00,000 to maintain lifestyle comparable to marriage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minor Daughter:<\/strong> \u20b93,00,000 to match schooling &amp; social environment of children of national cricketers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Orders Passed by Lower Courts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Trial Court (Magistrate, Alipore):&nbsp;<\/strong>Wife has some income; thus, maintenance reduced \u20b91,30,000\/month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calcutta High Court (July 2025)<\/strong>: Maintenance must reflect husband\u2019s income and marriage lifestyle thus maintenance was set up to \u20b94,00,000\/month (\u20b91.5L wife + \u20b92.5L daughter)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The High Court based its conclusion partly on:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shami\u2019s Income Tax Return, which reflected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Annual Income:<\/strong> \u20b97.19 crore<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Estimated monthly resources:<\/strong> \u20b960 lakh+<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>His career as an A-listed Indian international cricketer, central BCCI contract holder, IPL earnings, endorsements, and commercial assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Has the Wife Now Approached the Supreme Court?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wife argues that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u20b94 lakh\/month does not reflect Shami\u2019s real income, lifestyle, or the standard their daughter is entitled to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The daughter must not \u201cgrow up in a financially inferior environment\u201d while the father enjoys a luxury public lifestyle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintenance must ensure social parity, especially because:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cricketers\u2019 families typically access: Elite private schooling, Grooming programs, Coaching academies, Travel &amp; activity standards far above normal middle-class benchmarks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Position Before the Supreme Court:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The matter was listed before a Bench of Justices Manoj Misra and Ujjal Bhuyan, which has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Issued notice to Shami and the State of West Bengal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Asked the wife to clarify why \u20b94 lakh\/month is inadequate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sought financial disclosure and expenditure justification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Court\u2019s Findings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While enhancing the interim maintenance from \u20b91.3 lakh to \u20b94 lakh per month, the Calcutta High Court held that the determination of maintenance must reflect the standard of living that the wife and child were accustomed to during the marriage and cannot be reduced to a mere survival allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court observed that the fact of marriage and the paternity of the child were not in dispute, and that the materials on record, including the criminal case under Section 498A IPC and allied offences, showed a prima facie domestic relationship accompanied by allegations of domestic violence. Therefore, the wife was entitled to seek interim monetary relief under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On Standard of Living:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The High Court emphasized that maintenance must be <strong>\u201cfair, reasonable, and consistent with the lifestyle enjoyed during the marriage.\u201d<\/strong> It held:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThe petitioner wife who has remained unmarried and is living independently with the child is entitled to a levelled maintenance that she enjoyed during her continuance of marriage which reasonably secures her future as well as that of the child.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This principle applies especially when the husband\u2019s income is substantial and well-documented, as in this case, where the Court relied on Shami\u2019s Income Tax Return showing an annual income of approximately \u20b97.19 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On Claims That the Wife Must Be Self-Sufficient:<\/strong> Shami argued that the wife had independent earning capacity. The Court rejected using this as a complete bar to maintenance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cEven if the wife is earning some amount of money, it is not sufficient to rule out her application for monetary relief.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThe question is not whether she earns, but whether her income allows her to live with dignity.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This aligns with the Supreme Court\u2019s rule in Rajnesh v. Neha, which the Court explicitly referenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On \u201cEqualization of Wealth\u201d:<\/strong> Shami argued that the wife was attempting to equalize wealth, which is prohibited. The Court acknowledged the principle from Rinku Baheti v. Sandesh Sharda but clarified: <strong><em>\u201cWhile equalization of wealth is impermissible, awarding very low maintenance that does not match the standard of living of the parties is also not acceptable.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the Court walked a middle path:No luxury equalization, but no forced financial downgrade, especially for the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On Allegations of Adultery \/ Questioning Character:<\/strong> Shami\u2019s side suggested that the wife was living an \u201cindependent lifestyle\u201d and therefore not entitled to relief. The Court refused to consider media reports and public perception as evidence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThe personal life of both parties has been under the vigil of media, but such publications cannot have any legal value unless supported by material on record.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the Court held that character allegations were irrelevant at the interim stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Interim Direction by High Court:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cA sum of \u20b91,50,000 per month to the petitioner-wife and \u20b92,50,000 per month to the daughter would be just, fair, and reasonable to ensure financial stability for both, until disposal of the main application.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This created the current \u20b94,00,000\/month order now challenged before the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supreme Court\u2019s Observations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the matter came before the Bench of <strong>Justice Manoj Misra and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan,<\/strong> the Court did not immediately accept the plea for enhancing the interim maintenance to \u20b910,00,000\/month. Instead, the Bench expressed reservation and sought justification for the increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bench asked the petitioner\u2019s counsel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThe High Court has already granted \u20b94 lakh per month.

The Court signaled the core legal principle that: <strong><em>Maintenance ensures dignity, not luxury. <\/em><\/strong>This aligns with established Supreme Court rulings such as:<strong>Rinku Baheti v. Sandesh Sharda (2024)<\/strong> maintenance cannot be used to \u201cmatch\u201d the husband\u2019s wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bhagwan Dutt v.
