SC approves AIFF draft constitution
The Sunday Guardian
|September 21, 2025
The Supreme Court on Friday approved the draft constitution of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), prepared by former apex court judge L. Nageswara Rao, with minor modifications.
The football body has now been directed to adopt it within 4 weeks through a general body meeting.
A bench of Justices P.S. Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi upheld the election of the current AIFF executive committee, led by president Kalyan Chaubey. The court ruled out fresh elections, noting, "there is no point in holding a fresh poll, as only one year tenure is left."
The verdict brings clarity to the federation's leadership after months of uncertainty over the finalisation of its governing framework.
