Praful Patel’s ‘interference’ in AIFF functioning displeases SC

AIFF and Praful Patel

India is due to host FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup from October 11, 2022

  • The Supreme Court on Thursday warned the state football associations of “exercising its authority” if ousted AIFF chief and NCP leader Praful Patel attends their meetings and interferes with the administration of justice.
  • The top court said it will intervene if any attempt is made to sabotage the hosting of the 2022 FIFA-U-17 Women’s World Cup in India.
  • A bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud, Surya Kant and A.S. Bopanna refused to hear the modification applications filed by the Centre and State Football Associations, and the contempt petition of the Committee of Administrators (COA) against Patel for allegedly “interfering with the proceedings” of the top court after it was informed that a meeting is scheduled for Thursday evening with FIFA authorities.
