Constitution Of AIFF: SC Entrusts Ex-Judge Rao With Task Of Preparing Report

The bench comprising of CJI DY Chandrachud & Justice JB Pardiwala stated voluminous objections to the draft constitution by various stakeholders that can be taken care by Justice Rao after hearing the party’s concerns.

The court stated that “We are of the view that it will be appropriate to defer this exercise (of finalizing the constitution) since these are not issues of law but matters of policy dealing with running sport of football in India.

We request him to take the draft constitution prepared and finalise a report. In finalising the report Justice Rao is requested to hear all stakeholders.”

Further, it stated that the exercise considered for drafting the constitution and preparing a comprehensive report be completed by July 31.
