New Delhi, Nov. 22 -- The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre to take responsibility of ironing out the creases standing in the way of the AIFF to receive bids from potential bidders for the smooth conduct of ISL, observing that any solution should be worked out in line with the FIFA Statute. The observation of the court came after solicitor general Tushar Mehta appearing for the Centre said that the sports ministry is aware of the issue and every attempt shall be made to ensure ISL is held. A bench of justices PS Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi said, "People should not get an impression that the government is interfering in (AIFF) functioning. We have a very important obligation on us to ensure ISL is held." ISL clubs have written to AIFF to convene a meeting of "all the relevant stakeholders" including government representatives and interested bidders at the earliest. Mehta said that he has spoken with the minister in this regard and the concerns expressed by the bidders will be examined. "The Minister is fully concerned with this issue. He was certain that ISL must be held. The government will intervene to ensure ISL is held," Mehta said. The bench observed, "When all of you have taken responsibility, that is better," as it decided to post the matter after two weeks. It even indicated to Mehta that if a solution is forthcoming before this period, it will be willing to assemble. Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan assisting the court as amicus curiae pointed out that the matter was examined by former Supreme Court judge L Nageswara Rao who was asked to oversee the bidding process as per court's order of September 1. In a report submitted by justice Rao, he highlighted the concerns expressed by the potential bidders and possible recommendations. The bidders sought lowering of the guaranteed annual financial payment, raised objection to the veto power provided to AIFF in decision-making process, restrictions on sub-licensing of broadcast and other rights and lack of adequate representation to the commercial partner in the Governing Council....
