Dhoni had filed a case on his former business partners of cheating him of INR 15 crore.
MS Dhoni, former India captain, has received a notice from the Jharkhand High Court in a case that was filed by his former business partners Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Das.
Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Das are directors of Aarka Sports and Management Ltd, and they had created an agreement with MS Dhoni to open cricket academies using his name.
However, MS Dhoni filed a case on the duo on January 5 in Ranchi, citing that they had cheated him. In the complaint petition, he alleged that the duo continued to open cricket academies using his name even after he revoked their authority in 2021.
The cricketer alleged that he was defrauded of INR 15 crore.
Diwakar and Das moved the high court, challenging the cognizance taken against them by the court of a judicial magistrate in Ranchi.
Now the Jharkhand High Court has issued a notice to MS Dhoni and ordered him to appear in the matter by the high court and explain his stand.
