Dhoni who knows only winning\u00a0 has sweep the legal ground by defeating\u00a0 the State-owned Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited (KSDL) in a five-year-long legal wrangle, with the arbitrator, former Karnataka High Court judge Justice R Gururajan, ruling in favour of the cricketer.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The KSDL had dragged M S\u00a0Dhoni to the court alleging that he had violated the terms and conditions of an advertisement contract, which he had signed in 2006. The arbitrator also rejected KSDL\u2019s demand for Rs 6.5 crore in damages.<\/p>\n
\u00a0According to Manjunath Paranjape, power of attorney holder for M S\u00a0Dhoni, the arbitrator rejected the claim of Rs 6.5 crore in damages by the KSDL, which had cited a loss of reven\u00adue after Dhoni allegedly br\u00adeached a two-year contract he signed with it in January 2006.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Dhoni was served with a court notice following a petition by the KSDL, which had also claimed that Dhoni did not furnish the Rs 40-lakh compensation after he \u201cbreached\u201d the two-year contract.<\/p>\n
The KSDL had contended that the cricketer had not given even 10 days of promotional work. Following this, his contract was terminated in December 2007.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Justice of High Court judge<\/p>\n
\u00a0Abdul Nazeer, who heard the matter, had on mutual consensus appointed Justice Gururajan arbitrator<\/strong><\/span> to resolve the matter in 2009.<\/p>\n \u00a0The arbitrator had conducted 17 hearings. According to Dhoni\u2019s counsel, the KSDL\u2019s claim was rejected as \u201cnecessary documents\u201d were not furnished before the arbitrator.<\/p>\n \u00a0“Though the KSDL claimed that as per the Nielson report (an Australian company which did a market survey of KSDL) the State-owned company had suffered severe losses after Dhoni failed to appear for the shoot. However, the company could not prove this during the arbitration,\u201d<\/em> <\/span>said Paranjape.<\/p>\n \u00a0As per the agreement and the promotion endorsement, between January 2006 and December 2007, Dhoni was to make himself available for five shoots. \u201cOut of these, he appeared for three shoots. Two events were cancelled.<\/p>\n \u00a0On one occasion, Dhoni was supposed to attend an emergency meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in Mumbai. And on the second occasion, the KSDL itself cancelled the shoot stating that the managing director was out of station,\u201d Paranjape added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Indian cricket team captain M S Dhoni who wins matches on cricket field has won another battle in legal field.
