Overview

  • Interim orders dated May 24 keep relegation actions on hold until the Appeal Committee issues a final ruling.
  • SC Bengaluru contends that Namdhari FC fielded an ineligible player, a breach it says merits three points and could reshape the table.
  • Delhi FC’s appeal questions the disciplinary rationale and points to past AIFF cases where relegation was waived.
  • The committee found that the Disciplinary Committee overlooked key aspects of the relegation process and constitutional protections.
  • Aizawl FC has been notified of the proceedings and may choose to join before Thursday’s hearing in New Delhi.
