As he prepares to step down from his role as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) Chief, Sanjay Kumar Mishra (IRS-IT:1984) is anticipated to put forth his recommendation for the next ED Director. This process aligns with Section 25 of the Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003, which mandates a panel consisting of the Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC), two Vigilance Commissioners, and secretaries from the Home, Finance, and Department of Personnel and Training to deliberate on potential candidates for the upcoming leadership role.
The Act specifies that this committee “shall, in consultation with the Director of Enforcement, recommend officers for appointment to the posts above the level of the Deputy Director of Enforcement and also recommend the extension or curtailment of the tenure of such officers in the Directorate of Enforcement.
