New Delhi, Mar 31 (IBNS) In view of the unconditional apology tendered by Sanjoy Sen both verbally and in form of an affidavit in addition to his undertaking that such incidents will not happen in future, the AIFF Appeals Committee which met at Football House on Mar 31, 2106, unanimously decided to reduce the penalty of suspension from 8 matches to 4 matches to be served consecutively.

At the same time, the amount of fine has been reduced to 5 lakhs instead of 10 lakhs and it is to be deposited within 15 days from the date of communication.

"Furthermore, on the issue of FC Goa’s fine of 50 lakhs, the Committee felt that it needs further clarification on the issue of double jeopardy and jurisdiction of ISL over this matter," the AIFF said in a statement.

"The case is deferred for hearing to a later date. However, the Committee has requested both AIFF and ISL to maintain status quo in the matter of hearing of the proceeding," read the statement.
