Dhoni’s ₹100-crore defamation suit: Madras High Court directs Registry to number retired IPS officer’s plea
G. Sampath Kumar has insisted that a judicial officer must be appointed to monitor the video recording of evidence by an advocate commissioner and that the recording must take place in a court premises or government building
The Madras High Court has ordered the Registry to assign a case number to three applications filed by retired Indian Police Service officer G. Sampath Kumar. These applications seek to video record the testimony of cricket player Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a defamation suit filed by Dhoni in 2014. The suit is worth ₹100 crores and accuses several people, including the retired IPS officer, of dragging Dhoni's name in the 2013 IPL betting scam.
Justice K. Govindarajan Thilakavadi directed this decision after reviewing the applications and finding them maintainable based on a Supreme Court order.
