India defender Anwar Ali was on Thursday cleared to play for East Bengal after the All India Football Federation's (AIFF) Players Status Committee issued him a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

The decision came after the Delhi High Court ordered a rehearing of his case, overturning a previous suspension imposed by the AIFF. "The player's subsequent conduct of signing with East Bengal FC be given effect to pursuant to Article 9.5 and the CRS be updated by treating this order as the requisite release letter/NOC," the PSC stated while granting him NOC.

The next hearing is slated for September 30. On September 10, the AIFF had slapped a four-month suspension on Anwar, saying that he was "guilty" of terminating his contract with Mohun Bagan in an unjust manner.

In addition to the suspension, the AIFF sought a staggering compensation of Rs 12.90 crore from him, as well as from his parent club, Delhi FC, and East Bengal, where he had signed a five-year contract.
