Rajasthan Royals He has found himself in another controversy as Sreesanth of former Indian pacer was included in his long -running legal battle. Rajasthan Royals and United India Insurance Company are struggling with 2012 IPL season drama.
The issue began when Rajasthan Royals filed an insurance claim of more than 82 lakhs after being evicted from the 2012 season. The fast bowler suffered a knee injury during a practice match, forcing him to remember the entire IPL 2012 season.
Supreme Court heard the quarrel of Rajasthan Royals-Insurance Company on Sreesanth
Royals argued that they were eligible for compensation since injuries during the insurance period, but the United India Insurance Company refused. He rejected the claim, saying that Sreesanth had already had a toe injury that he had not revealed.

The insurance company claimed that the old injury had stopped Sreesanth from playing IPL 2012, so the claim of Rajasthan Royals was not valid. But the franchise insisted that toe injury was not serious and he did not stop Sreesanth from playing first.
He insisted that it was a knee injury, and nothing else, which gave him a completely decision from that season. Even the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) had earlier ordered the insurance company to pay the amount asked by Rajasthan Royals.

Supreme Court asked for more documents in final hearing
But the company decided to pursue the matter and took the matter to the Supreme Court. Now, in a recent hearing, a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta focused on whether Sreesanth’s old toe injury was revealed at the time of taking the cover by the franchise.
The judges also questioned whether the insurance company already knew about the injury; If so, this policy should not have been accepted and agreed to cover Sreesanth in the first place.
The Supreme Court has now postponed the case, which has been asked to submit more documents to the insurance company, including Sreesanth’s fitness certificate and original insurance application, to check if the injury was revealed before his final decision.
Insurance company claims that Rajasthan Royals hide Sreesanth’s previous injury
During the hearing, the United India Insurance Company was represented by Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati. The company said that the main issue was that RR did not reveal the injury of Pesar’s toe.
He said that the policy was given on the assumption that all previous injuries were fully discovered, but they were not, so the claim could not be accepted.
RR argues
On the other hand, senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul appeared for Royals in the court. He argued that Sreesanth’s ability to play toe injury had nothing to do, as the bowler had already participated in the matches. It was a sudden knee injury that was picked up by Sirsant during the insured period which actually excluded her from the tournament.
The attitude of the Royals is that their main objective of taking such a policy is to protect both the franchise and the players. If a cricketer is injured and cannot play during the season, the policy should ensure that the player’s payment and team’s expenses have been covered, regardless of the old issues, which had no effect on his fitness at that time.
Kaul also said that when Sreesanth joined the franchise, the insurance company was given a fitness certificate, and later another certificate was presented when he suffered a knee injury.
