“In today’s hearing, the main ground of challenge posed by Mr Rajneesh Chopra (Dhoni’s lawyer) to the issuance of the non-bailable warrant was that MS Dhoni in person was never served by the summons as issued by the court.
Due to this reason, Mr. Dhoni and our legal team were unaware of the fact that they were required to appear in the local court at Ananthpur on 07.01.2016,” the company said in its statement.
The warrant was issued as per the court’s order on January 7, for a morphed picture of India’s limited-overs captain that appeared on the cover of a magazine in April 2013.
