Which of the following persons' tenure was extended for one year as chief of the Enforcement Directorate in November 2021?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Sanjay Kumar Mishra.
In November 2021, the tenure of Sanjay Kumar Mishra, Director of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), was extended for one year. Initially appointed on November 19, 2018, for a two-year term, Mishra's tenure was extended in November 2020 to three years. Subsequently, in November 2021, the government introduced ordinances amending the Central Vigilance Commission Act, allowing the tenure of ED and CBI directors to be extended up to five years. Utilising this provision, Mishra's tenure was extended until November 18, 2022.
