In a massive reprieve for Mohun Bagan, All India Football Federation, AIFF has revoked the two-year ban on the club. The Federation let off the side by imposing a meagre fine of two crore rupees for abandoning its I-League derby against East Bengal mid-way, last December. The decision was taken during the AIFF's executive committee meeting chaired by its President Praful Patel yesterday.The I-League's core committee had earlier banned Mohun Bagan from the I-League for two years for breaching of rules. Mr. Patel said in New Delhi that Mohun Bagan will continue to play in the current season, but they will lose all the 12 points they have earned so far in the league. He said that Mohun Bagan will start with zero points and will have to pay two crore rupees as compensation.
