The Supreme Court has declared as "illegal" two orders issued by the Indian Government in November 2021 and 2022 granting extensions to the tenure of SK Mishra as head of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The court held that the two extensions granted to Mishra "are not valid in law," but taking into consideration the concern expressed by the Centre regarding India's peer review by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the Supreme Court permitted Mishra to continue till July 31.
