The Union government on Thursday gave a fresh one-year extension in service to ED director Sanjay Kumar Mishra, according to an official order.
This is the overall the third extension given to the officer.
The latest order issued by the Personnel Ministry said the 1984-batch Indian Revenue Service officer will be in office till November 18, 2023.
Mishra, 62, was first appointed director of the Enforcement Directorate for a stipulated period of two years by an order on November 19, 2018.
Later, by an order dated November 13, 2020, the central government modified the appointment letter retrospectively and his two-year term was replaced by three years.
The government last year brought an ordinance mandating that the tenure of the directors of ED and Central Bureau of Investigation can be extended by up to three years after the mandated term of two years. Mishra was subsequently given a one-year extension then, his second.
"The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved extension in tenure of Shri Sanjay Kumar Mishra, IRS (IT:84006) as director of Enforcement in the Enforcement Directorate for a period of one year beyond 18.11.2022, ie up to 18.11.2023 or until further orders, whichever is earlier," the Thursday order said. -- PTI
