Ganguly taken to court by management company

Percept D'Mark, the event and celebrity management company, have filed a suit in the Mumbai High Court against Sourav Ganguly, alleging that he did not comply with the terms of the contract that he had signed with them.

Percept, whose deal with Ganguly expired on Monday, have also taken out a restraining order, preventing him from signing up with any other management company until the matter is resolved. That could queer the pitch somewhat for their rivals, with Showdiff - set up recently by Ravi Shastri and Rediff - rumoured to be favourites to snap up Ganguly.

Satish Kishanchandani, counsel for Percept, said, "My client has contended that Ganguly hasn't complied with the terms and conditions of the contract." The hearing is on Wednesday.
