- Abraham Thomas

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Wednesday denied writing to the global football federation FIFA for approval of its constitution cleared by the Supreme Court and assured the court that the amended constitution as cleared by the court will be put up for adoption at its general body meeting.

The clarification from AIFF came a day after the top court had expressed concern over a news report which alleged that AIFF had written a letter to the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) over its draft constitution.

Appearing before a bench of justices PS Narasimha and AS Chandurkar, senior advocate Ranjit Kumar appearing for AIFF said, “I have taken written instructions. They have denied such a news report. Everything according to the judgment of this court will happen.”
