The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear on July 27 an urgent application moved by the Centre to allow Enforcement Directorate (ED) Director Sanjay Kumar Mishra to continue in office till October 15.
A Supreme Court judgment on July 11 had directed him to quit office by July 31. The top court had concluded that Mr. Mishra’s continuance at the helm of the ED on his third consecutive extension, till November 2023, was illegal.
