Rajasthan Royals Insurance dispute in Supreme Court, Sreesanth injury case postponed

New Delhi. The insurance company insuring the owner of ‘Rajasthan Royals’ for the 2012 Indian Premier League has approached the Supreme Court. The company has challenged the order of the National Consumer Disputes Prevention Commission (NCDRC). In this, he was given the franchise owner S. It was instructed to pay more than Rs 82 lakh due to Sreesanth’s injury. Sreesanth was unable to play in the tournament at that time.

On Monday 1 September, Justice Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta postponed the case so that the appellant could submit additional documents. This includes applications submitted by the respondent who received insurance and necessary documents (such as Sreesanth’s fitness certificate).

Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati asked for the appellant-unit insurance company that the disputed order saw Sreesanth’s issue of an already existing foot injury. Which had no relation with a knee injury (occurred during the insurance period). The appellars were non -disclose to the toe, not on the relationship between the two injuries.

Senior Advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul appeared for the response (Royal Multisort Private Limited) and argued that the already existing leg injury, due to which the claim was rejected by the appellant, does not make Sreesanth unable to play. Rather, it was a knee injury that occurred during the insurance period, which made him disqualified.

The senior lawyer further stated that the policy obtained in this case is to ensure that the players who get hurt during the tournament (who are disqualified in playing) are paid by the BCCI and the team concerned. “Toe injury did not stop him from playing. He was playing! He suffered a knee injury during the practice session!”
