The Supreme Court asked whether a person can be so important. In fact, the Supreme Court in its 2021 judgment had made it clear that any extension of service of officers holding the post of Director of Enforcement beyond the age of retirement should be of short duration. The order also clarified that Sanjay Mishra will not be granted further extension
Appearing for the Center before a bench of Justices BR Goi, Vikram Nath and Sanjay Karol, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said, “Mishra’s extension was necessary for administrative reasons and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) review of India.” ” The bench asked, “Is there no other person in the ED who can do his job?
