Supreme Court dismisses Percept's appeal against ₹14.49 crore arbitral award to Sourav Ganguly

Supreme Court dismisses Percept's appeal against ₹14.49 crore arbitral award to Sourav Ganguly The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain an appeal filed by Percept Talent Management challenging a Calcutta High Court judgment that upheld a ₹14.49 crore arbitral award in favour of former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly [Percept Talent Management Limited and Anr. v Sourav Chandidas Ganguly]. The dispute arose from a 2003 Player Representation Agreement between Ganguly and Percept concerning the management of his commercial and endorsement engagements. The matter was heard by a Bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana.

The observation came after Senior Advocate Nakul Dewan, appearing for Percept, argued that the agreement contained an all-encompassing clause covering promotional services, including those connected with cricket matches. Justice Bagchi further observed that while Ganguly playing for KKR was one aspect; there was a separate aspect concerning his advertising activities. “One part is your playing of cricket, but there is another significant part where you are advertising,” said Justice Bagchi. The dispute between Sourav Ganguly and talent management firm Percept dates back to 2003, when Ganguly appointed the company as his exclusive manager for his…

Two entities pay over Rs 81 lakh to settle Growpital case with Sebi - Regulators - 2 min read Two entities pay over Rs 81 lakh to settle Growpital case with Sebi New Delhi, Two entities have settled with markets regulator Sebi a case related to alleged fraudulent activities in the matter of agri-investment platform Growpital on payment of Rs 81.12 lakh towards settlement charges. The settlement was reached by Nutrikosh India Pvt Ltd and Alok Chaudhary without "admitting or denying the facts and conclusions of law", according to a Sebi order passed on Monday. The regulator had issued a show cause notice (SCN) in March 2025 to 30 entities, including Nutrikosh India and Chaudhary, following its investigation into the Growpital platform. The notice alleged that Nutrikosh aided and abetted other co-investors in fraudulent activities and acted as a conduit for transferring funds to the tune of Rs 7.03 crore. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) alleged violations of provisions of the Sebi Act and the PFUTP (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Relating to Securities Markets) regulations. The Growpital platform matter dates back to January 2024, when Sebi passed an ex-parte interim order against eight entities, alleging that they had raised Rs 192.88 crore from the public through an unregistered collective investment scheme (CIS). The interim order had directed the entities to cease and desist from carrying on CIS activities. The findings were subsequently confirmed through a confirmatory order in April 2024.
