Inter Kashi Wins CAS Appeal, I-League Title Still in Doubt
A soccer team, Inter Kashi, appealed to a sports court (CAS) regarding a game where an opposing team played an ineligible player.
The court agreed with Inter Kashi, reversing an earlier decision by the AIFF (the soccer league).
This means Inter Kashi gained points.
However, they didn't win the league yet because another team, Churchill Brothers, was declared champion.
Inter Kashi has another appeal pending which could still make them the champion.

The CAS overturned the AIFF Appeals Committee's earlier decision.
The initial AIFF Disciplinary Committee decision was upheld by CAS.
