New Delhi, Aug 22: The Supreme Court on Monday passed order to dissolve Committee of Administrators (CoA) “in expectation that FIFA will revoke suspension of AIFF” and that U-17 Women’s World Cup will be held in India.
SC agrees to list plea seeking review of PMLA judgment
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told Supreme Court that the consequence of FIFA suspending AIFF is “disastrous and serious” for the entire nation, all football players and football lovers, as not only would India lose hosting rights of such a historical event but the Indian teams selected by AIFF and its affiliated club teams will no longer be entitled to take part in any international football matches competitions forthwith till suspension continues.
The top court had earlier taken note of the submissions of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the IOA, that the order may have negative repercussions on the nation and granted the interim relief ordering status quo into the affairs of the IOA.
The high court appointed COA includes former Supreme Court judge Justice Anil R Dave, former Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi, and former Secretary of Ministry of External Affairs Vikas Swarup.
The Delhi High Court on August 16 had ordered the setting up of the CoA to manage the affairs of the IOA.
