to foil-l, Say NO 2 UID Core Group
The "fixed two years" tenure had been provided as per the direction of the Supreme Court in the (celebrated) Prakash Singh case in order to ensure professional autonomy for the occupants of these high offices.
Now, the "fixed 2" turns into "2+1+1+1".
So, the essence of the order is brazenly trampled upon and goes even well beyond.
The concerned officials would, henceforth, be just at the beck and call of the Boss - a lump of putty in his/her hands.
In fact, the provision for "extension", based on review, beyond the "fixed term", on the face of it, doesn't only implicitly contravene the aforesaid order, but, it's also an explicit breach of the redline.
The regime is just set upon making mincemeat of the structures of "democracy".
About time to take note.
<<As per the ordinances promulgated on Sunday, a CBI or ED director can be appointed first for a period of two years, but if needed, the tenure can be extended for three more years. This will require three separate annual extensions.>>
