DR. JAYA THAKUR VS UNION OF INDIA
The Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of the Amendments to the DPSE and Vigilance Act. However, the Court ruled that the second and third extensions of Mr. Mishra’s tenure on 17 November 2021 and 17 November 2022 were illegal and in violation of the Supreme Court’s Common Cause decision. The Court directed the Union Government to appoint a new Director for the Enforcement Directorate by 31 July 2023, while Mr. Mishra continues in the role until then. The Three-Judge Bench judgment was authored by Justice B.R. Gavai.
