Satyamev Jayate: Inter Kashi reclaim I-League crown after solo CAS battle
'Absolutely,' Aryaman admitted, when asked if the wait disrupted planning. 'We were in limbo—not here, not there. We had ideas, but without clarity, we couldn't act.'The legal path was precise but draining. 'From a procedural point of view, CAS was very efficient. But if it had come sooner, it would've helped not just us, but everyone involved.'And if there was any institutional support along the way? 'This was 100% a solo battle,' Aryaman said. 'If you're talking about external help—there was none.'Congratulations to @InterKashi inon winning their maiden #ILeague title #IndianFootball pic.twitter.com/Vo01lBUUkM— I-League (@ILeague_aiff) July 18, 2025"The All India Football Federation congratulates Inter Kashi FC on being adjudged champions of I-League 2024-25, in reference to the judgment passed by the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) on Friday, July 18, 2025," the AIFF statement read.So, what now?Now that CAS has ruled in their favour, Inter Kashi are, on record, I-League champions and logically the next team to be promoted to the Indian Super League. But there's a catch.With promotion and relegation not fully enforced yet, and the ISL's future structure still unclear, the club's big win has landed in uncertain territory. 'One step at a time,' Aryaman said. 'We've started planning internally again, but we still don't have clarity on the ISL situation.'We knew on April 6thThe World knows todayInter Kashi.

'We're only in our second season as a club. To have achieved this much already means a lot. But this is just the beginning.'- Ends

RJ Mahvash shares video of Yuzvendra Chahal's birthday celebration, says ‘iPhone waale party ke photos bhej nahi rahe'
Actor RJ Mahvash posted a birthday celebration video for her rumoured partner, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, on Instagram. She shared a video of Chahal celebrating his birthday in a restaurant on Instagram along with a quirky message for him. She wrote,'@yuzi_chahal23 iphone wale party ke photos bhej nai rahe isko par mere pas yehi ek tha, ye rakhle mast." RJ Mahvash' Instagram story. Prior to the birthday celebration video, Mahvash shared a birthday message for Chahal, which read, 'Happy Birthday Yuzi! Getting older is a part of life and other parts are even worse. So all the best @yuzi_chahal23.' Cricketer Chahal marked his 35th birthday on July 23 in London. A video from the celebration emerged online. Chahal looked visibly excited and hugged Mahvash, who was all smiles as she watched him enjoy the event. The rumours about Mahvash and Chahal's relationship surfaced amid the cricketer's separation from his ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma. The rumours began after they were spotted at a Christmas event last year. Chahal was seen at the Champions Trophy final in Dubai with Mahvash after his separation from Dhanashree Verma this year, sparking relationship rumours again. RJ Mahvash has repeatedly said that they are just friends. She also posted a story on Instagram that said, "Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless these rumours are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does that mean you are dating them? I'm sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?" She further added, 'I have been patient for 2-3 days now, but I won't let any PR teams drag my name into this to cover up other people's images. Let people live in peace with their friends and family during tough times.' Nevertheless, during a 2025 IPL Trophy match, she was seen boarding the Punjab Kings team bus with the wives and girlfriends of cricketers, fueling relationship rumours again.

‘AIFF undermined own committee at CAS'
Kolkata: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has belittled its league committee in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), according to an official. Lalnghinglova Hmar, chairman of the league committee, has said AIFF gave different versions on the committee's jurisdiction to CAS and the federation's appeals committee. All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Kalyan Chaubey. (Hindustan Times) 'I am thoroughly disappointed that the AIFF made every attempt to undermine the importance of the League Committee in its submission to CAS,' Hmar has written in a letter to federation president Kalyan Chaubey on Wednesday. HT has seen the letter. An AIFF executive committee member, Hmar is also president of Mizoram Football Association and a minister of state in charge of Mizoram's sports and youth affairs department. The league committee has the authority to allow a player to be re-registered, AIFF informed its appeals committee, Hmar's letter states. 'Surprisingly, the AIFF did a complete volte-face in its submission to CAS in which it not only belittled its own League Committee but went on to explain at length that the League Committee doesn't have the authority to allow the said footballer to play,' according to the letter. Hmar's letter pertains to the status of a player, Mario Barco, fielded by 2024-25 I-League champions Inter Kashi. Barco was registered but had to be replaced because of injury. After he recovered, Inter Kashi re-registered Barco as replacement for Jan Pérez del Pino who had left the club by mutual agreement. This was okayed by the league committee by a majority decision but overturned by AIFF appeals committee, which is an independent adjudicatory body, in April. Inter Kashi then took the matter to CAS whose decision on July 18 upholding the re-registration forced AIFF to declare Inter Kashi as champions. AIFF told its appeals committee that the league committee, as per AIFF Regulations, can deal with 'decisions on overall organizational matters,' the letter says. The regulations, as per Hmar's letter, state that 'any administrative action, including those relating to registration and/or re-registration of players, would fall within the terms of reference of the league committee.' AIFF's submission to CAS was different, Hmar has said. According to his letter, AIFF told CAS that the league committee 'shall recommend actions' on disputes including those pertaining to players. The league committee's role is to provide 'clarifications or explanations' if doubts arise in the interpretation of the AIFF Regulations, the letter states. 'Consequently, the AIFF League Committee lacked the authority to render any final and binding clarification…' Hmar quotes AIFF's as telling CAS in his letter. 'The invalidity of the League Committee Opinion (sic) is not merely procedural but jurisdictional, and it therefore taints the entire process.' This is what AIFF told CAS according to Hmar's letter. 'The difference of opinion between the two submissions is so stark and glaring that it makes it hard to believe that they were made by the same party in less than three and a half months,' Hmar has said. It is an attempt to 'erode' and 'sabotage' the authority of what is one the standing committees of AIFF, Hmar has said. 'The letter is self-explanatory. And it was sent to the AIFF to uphold the dignity of the League Committee,' Hmar told HT on Thursday. Reacting to the letter, Chaubey said: 'In CAS, the AIFF had to defend the decision taken by its appeals committee which is headed by a retired High Court judge. It did not have to defend itself in the appeals committee and hence its submission was different. 'AIFF had no intention to undermine Mr Hmar or its League committee. That said, if AIFF's actions have hurt Mr Hmar, as head of the organisation, I am willing to write a letter of apology to him. I have told him that.'
