Wider implications for AIFF after Supreme Court sets aside SY Quraishi's amended constitution

All eyes will now be on the amended AIFF constitution which is also being prepared by SY Quraishi

In a development that will have wider ramifications for all sports in India, the Supreme Court of the country on Wednesday set aside the Archery Association of India (AAI) constitution as amended by the Delhi High Court-appointed Administrator SY Quraishi.

The Supreme Court also refused to acknowledge the elections held under the amended constitution on December 22, 2018, and ordered a fresh set of elections to be held in the next four weeks.

Last year, former Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi was appointed by the Delhi High Court as the Administrator of the AAI and been handed a mandate to revise the governing body’s constitution in keeping with the National Sports Development Code of 2011 along with holding a fresh set of elections.
