Mahua Moitra In Supreme Court Against Centre's Move On Agency Heads' Term
NDTV
The plea also challenges the constitutional validity of Centre's ordinances. It says that is contrary to Supreme Court's judgement in September.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has moved the Supreme Court against the centre's ordinances to extend the tenure of the directors of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), arguing that they are an attack on the impartiality of the probe agencies. Top court specifically said Mishra tenure cannot be extended. Yet Nov 14th ordinance used on Nov 17th to extend yet again.What dirty work is Mishraji doing for his masters that makes him so indispensible? Just asking. pic.twitter.com/cIO2a39FdL My petition just filed in Supreme Court challenging Union Ordinances on extension to CBI & ED Director tenures being contrary to SC own judgements
The chiefs of the two central agencies had a two-year tenure which can now be extended up to five years. They can be given three extensions of a year each after they complete the two-year term. Earlier today, ED director Sanjay Kumar Mishra, who was to retire tomorrow, was given a year's extension.
Ms Moitra in her plea says that Centre's ordinances "attack independence and impartiality of CBI and ED" and give the Centre "unfettered discretion to pick and choose those Directors for the purposes of extension of tenure who act in line with the Government's preferences."
