The petition seeks the appointment of an independent arbitrator to adjudicate claims related to the alleged unlawful breach of contract and the non-payment of contractual dues by the player.Sources close to the case told India Today that Square The One had represented Nitish Reddy since 2021, before he rose to prominence in the IPL. The agency is said to have facilitated multiple brand endorsements and commercial partnerships for Reddy during their four-year association.'Ninety percent of such disputes do not reach court and are resolved privately. But in this case, Nitish refused to pay any money and claimed he had secured the deals himself,' a source said on condition of anonymity.Things have not been going well for Nitish Reddy since his impressive Test debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The all-rounder had a poor Indian Premier League 2025 season with SunRisers Hyderabad.

ED is being assisted in its task by National Financial Reporting Authority, CBI, Security and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and National Housing Bank, since it involves misappropriation of huge public funds. At least a dozen related entities of the group are currently undergoing insolvency proceedings, which means massive haircuts for banks.

Ambani is already under investigation for his group entity RHFL availing funds of Rs 2,965 crore from Yes Bank by allegedly paying bribes to its former CEO Rana Kapoor through his wife Bindu Kapoor and her companies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do You Speak English?

These companies had a common registered address, email ID/domain, address and directors".
