The Delhi High Court on January 18 asked its registry to inform former Team India cricket captain M.S. Dhoni about filing of a defamation suit against him by his two former business partners.
Plaintiffs and former business partners Mihir Diwakar and his wife Soumya Das have approached the High Court seeking a permanent injunction and damages against Mr. Dhoni, several social media platforms and media houses and thereby restraining them from making, publishing, circulating per se defamatory, ex facie false and malicious statements against them.
Justice Prathiba M. Singh, before whom the plaint came up for hearing, was informed that Mr. Dhoni has not been served with the plea by the plaintiffs.
