Overview

  • Hasin Jahan has asked the apex court to move her Domestic Violence Act case and Section 125 CrPC maintenance proceedings from Kolkata to Delhi, citing her relocation and their daughter’s schooling.
  • Justices Manoj Misra and Manmohan issued notice to Shami and other respondents on Wednesday on the two transfer pleas.
  • A separate plea seeking to increase monthly interim maintenance to Rs 10 lakh for Jahan and her daughter remains pending after the Supreme Court issued notice in November 2025.
  • The Calcutta High Court last year fixed interim maintenance at Rs 1.5 lakh per month for Jahan and Rs 2.5 lakh for the child, permitting arrears to be paid in instalments.
  • The litigation traces back to a 2018 FIR at Jadavpur police station alleging cruelty, with arrest warrants issued in 2019 later stayed by a Sessions Court.
