Not much option than approaching court regarding elections, says AIFF

India TV News  

The All India Football Federation fears suspension by FIFA if an ad-hoc body is placed in charge during its AGM next month as it seeks to avoid conducting elections due to a lack of Sports Code compliant constitution. "The committee's term is set to end on 21st December 2020 but the lack of a constitution on the lines of the National Sports Code derives that the AIFF are unable to hold elections to form the next executive committee," another source added. "Hence, AIFF had no other option but to appeal to the Supreme Court to extend the term of the current committee or give any other directions as necessary," the source said. In October 2017, the Delhi High Court stated that the elections were held without following the then newly-implemented National Sports Code and appointed former Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi as an independent administrator to look after the AIFF's affairs until fresh elections are held. The Supreme Court stayed the High Court's ruling in November and appointed ombudsmen to formulate a new AIFF constitution within eight weeks and then conduct elections.
