Inter Kashi has filed a writ petition against Churchill Brothers CEO Valenka Alemao, citing a conflict of interest.
Inter Kashi has filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court accusing Valenka Alemao, the CEO of Churchill Brothers, of a ‘conflict of interest as she is also a member of the AIFF Executive Committee.
The Delhi High Court has pushed the matter to Friday following today’s hearing. This is another litigation involving Churchill Brothers and Inter Kashi. After the dispute regarding the title of the last I-League season, the two clubs have opened another front. This writ petition is primarily centred on the conduct of Valenka Alemao.
In the petition, they have stated, “The Petitioner has brought to the notice of AIFF several instances where Ms. Valanka has misused her position as a member of the Executive Committee of AIFF to benefit CBFC; however, no action has been taken in such complaints, to date.”
“Instances such as not returning the I-League Champions Trophy to AIFF despite having lost before the highest sports adjudicatory body in the world, namely, Court for Arbitration for Sports, to deliberately procuring sensitive/non-public documents of the petitioner club in her capacity as member of the Executive Committee of AIFF to use such information to initiate and by further holding the original trophy to itself on the false premise that it has not been directed by CAS to return the same.”
The litigation surrounding the last season of the I-League and its winner has not yet concluded. However, based on the order of CAS, AIFF has awarded Inter Kashi with the I-League trophy and promotion to the Indian Super League for the 2025-26 season.
