Supreme Court Reviews Royals' Sreesanth Injury Insurance Case
Imagine a cricket player, Sreesanth, got hurt in 2012 and couldn't play.
His team, Rajasthan Royals, had insurance and asked for money to cover his injury.
The insurance company said they shouldn't pay because Sreesanth had a previous injury they didn't know about.
The team said the old injury didn't stop him from playing in 2012.
The team won in a lower court.
But the insurance company took the case to the Supreme Court.
Now the Supreme Court is looking at the case.
The court wants to see if the insurance company knew about his old injury, and if it should change things.
Rajasthan Royals are in a legal dispute with an insurance company regarding Sreesanth's 2012 injury.
The claim is for INR 82 lakh, part of a larger insurance policy.
The insurance company claims Sreesanth had an undisclosed injury from 2011.
Rajasthan Royals argue that the 2012 injury caused his absence.
The Supreme Court is reviewing documents and questioning the insurance company.
