The Supreme Court has issued a notice to Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami following petitions from his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan. Jahan is seeking the transfer of matrimonial proceedings, including her maintenance plea and domestic violence complaint, from West Bengal to Delhi. She has cited the need for her minor daughter’s holistic growth and development as the reason for the transfer request.
Jahan, in her plea, emphasized her move to Delhi to ensure her daughter’s well-being. She highlighted her lack of independent income and sole responsibility for her child’s care, upbringing, and welfare. Jahan expressed concerns about the distance between West Bengal and Delhi, which she believes would cause significant prejudice and hardships to her and her daughter.
The petition argues that Shami, who travels extensively for cricket matches and leagues, has the financial means to contest the cases in Delhi. It also mentions that Shami’s family resides in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha, which is closer to Delhi than Kolkata. Jahan and Shami got married in 2014 and have a daughter together, with Jahan having two daughters from a previous marriage.
