The Supreme Court on Wednesday appointed a three-member Committee of Administrators (CoA) headed by former top court judge A. R. Dave to manage the affairs of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and adoption of its constitution in line with the National Sports Code and model guidelines.
A bench of Justices D. Y. Chandrachud, Surya Kant and P. S. Narasimha said the COA will comprise two earlier members—Dr. S. Y. Qureshi, former Chief Election Commissioner, and Bhaskar Ganguly, former captain of the Indian Football Team—besides Justice Dave.
The top court said the current state of affairs is not in the interest of proper governance of the federation.
