The Supreme Court on May 3 quizzed the government about the third extension given to Enforcement Directorate (ED) chief Sanjay Kumar Mishra, asking whether “one person can be so indispensable”.
“Is there no other person in the organisation who can do his job? Can one person be so indispensable? Is there no one else in ED who is competent? What will happen post 2023, when he does retire?” a three-judge Bench headed by Justice B.R. Gavai asked the Centre.
At one point, the court remarked that the country had gone on despite the assassination of a Prime Minister years ago.
