NEW DELHI: The Union government on Tuesday made an urgent request in the Supreme Court for an early hearing as FIFA suspended the All India Football Federation (AIFF), and rescinded India's India hosting rights for the upcoming Under-17 Women’s World Cup in October.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, mentioned the matter before a bench headed by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud.
Mehta submitted that "some development" has taken place in the matter related to AIFF and requested the court to hear the matter on Wednesday.
