Supreme Court to Hear Ex-India Goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey's Plea on January 4

News 18  

The Supreme Court will on January 4 hear an appeal from former India goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey, who has sought elections in the All India Football Federation, a source confirmed to IANS on Saturday. Chaubey, who played for the senior national team from 1999-2006, had moved the apex court earlier this month with an appeal to not extend the mandate of the current executive committee of the AIFF and hold fresh elections at an early date. Recently, the AIFF had also moved an application in the Supreme Court to extend the tenure of the current executive committee beyond December 21, claiming that the court-appointed administrators are yet to frame a new constitution to conduct elections. The AIFF in its petition has asked the top court to “allow the Executive Committee elected on December 21, 2016 in its annual general body meeting to continue to hold office till a new executive committee is formed pursuant to an election conducted in accordance with the new constitution and may be approved by the court and /or pass such order/orders as the court may deem fit and proper in the fact and circumstances of the present case”.
