📋 Background of the Case: The dispute involves competing claims from heavyweights Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, along with Delhi FC and the player himself. The annulled orders, dated August 3 and August 10, 2024, had directly impacted Ali’s registration status during the ongoing transfer saga.
🔍 Key Rulings by the Appeals Committee:
- De Novo Hearing: The Committee has directed the PSC to rehear the entire case from scratch, allowing a fresh start to the proceedings.
- Neutral Stance: The Appeals Committee clarified that it has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the specific claims made by the involved clubs or the player.
- Legal Oversight: Any future decision by the PSC will remain subject to the final ruling of the Delhi High Court in Writ Petition No. 14661/2024.
🏟 Impact on Anwar Ali: This reset provides a level playing field for all parties to present new evidence and arguments. However, Anwar Ali’s immediate playing status remains unresolved, highlighting the complex legal hurdles in Indian football transfers.
