The Jharkhand State Housing Board (JSHB) is learnt to have served a notice to Mahendra Singh Dhoni, asking him why a "illegally allotted plot" adjacent to his originally allotted land would not be cancelled.

Dhoni, who had been allotted the plot by the state for his exemplary cricketing display in 2006, has been asked to reply within 15 days as to why the "illegally allotted cut plot" not be cancelled at his Harmu Housing Colony.

Dhoni reportedly got a 5002 square feet plot originally before getting another 4780 square feet as "cut plot" adjacent to the original one, inviting the notice to him. JSHB Managing Director Dillip Kumar Jha refused to speak on the matter.
