New Delhi, Oct 12 (PTI) The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Sunday adopted its Supreme Court-approved constitution at its Special General Body Meeting but left out two contentious clauses "pending directions from the Apex court".

The SC had on September 19 approved the draft constitution of the AIFF prepared by former apex court judge L Nageswara Rao with certain modifications, and directed the federation to adopt it within four weeks.

Two clauses of the draft constitution -- one relating to requirement of SC nod for amendment and another prohibiting office-bearers from holding dual posts in the AIFF and state units -- had caused headache to the top brass.

"The Constitution adopted without the two clauses pending directions from the Supreme Court," a top AIFF official told PTI.
