Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami faces fresh legal proceedings as his wife Hasin Jahan seeks transfer of domestic violence and maintenance cases from West Bengal to Delhi. She claims financial hardship and child welfare concerns as key reasons for the move.
The Karnataka High Court ruled that Section 31 of the Domestic Violence Act applies exclusively to breaches of protection orders, not maintenance orders, ruling out jail for non-payment. This judgment clarifies that non-compliance with monetary relief does not attract criminal liability under Section 31 of the DV Act.
