The plea filed by Dhoni alleged that Maxx Mobilink has not paid dues of over Rs 10 crore, which was agreed upon for using his name on the company's products.
It also contended that the endorsement agreement between Dhoni and the company expired in December 2012 but Maxx was still using his name to sell its products and also not paying his dues.
The plea added that the mobile company has still been selling products using Dhoni's name in violation of the court's earlier order that asked the company to refrain from using his name.
