The Supreme Court is slated to hear the Centre’s plea on Thursday, 27 July after the latter moved the court on Wednesday seeking an extension of the term of Enforcement Directorate (ED) chief SK Mishra.
Mishra’s tenure was slated to come to an end on Monday, 31 July, in accordance with a Supreme Court judgment from earlier this month.
As per ANI, the Centre has sought the extension till 15 October in view of the ongoing FATF review.
“I am circulating one miscellaneous application,” Livelaw quoted Solicitor General Tushar Mehta telling a bench headed by Justice BR Gavai on Wednesday. The Solicitor General was appearing for the Centre.
