In the long arc of institutional accountability, India's Sports Ministry has drawn a clear line before the Supreme Court: no individual, however entrenched, may hold office beyond the democratic limits a nation sets for itself. Praful Patel's twelve-year tenure as AIFF president expired in December 2020, yet elections were never held — a delay the ministry argues was engineered through the very court proceedings meant to bring clarity. The case is, at its heart, a question about whether procedural ambiguity can be used to indefinitely suspend democratic obligation.
