Supreme Court allows ED chief Sanjay Kumar Mishra to continue till Sep 15 in ‘larger public interest’

Hindustan Times  

In a relief to the Union government, the Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Enforcement Directorate chief Sanjay Kumar Mishra to continue till September 15 in "larger public interest". Pronouncing the verdict on the Centre's plea to let Sanjay Kumar Mishra continue as ED director till October 15 instead of the court-mandated deadline of July 31, the apex court said there won't be any further extension and that Mishra shall cease to occupy the post from midnight of September 15-16. The Supreme Court earlier this month termed the third extension of service granted to ED chief Sanjay Kumar Mishra “illegal”. Earlier this month, the Justice Gavai-led bench quashed the government’s decision to grant two extensions of tenure to ED director Mishra in 2021 and 2022 and termed these orders “illegal”, giving him time till July 31 to relinquish office.
