CISF chief Subodh Kumar Jaiswal on Tuesday took charge of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). An order issued by the personnel ministry stated that Jaiswal has been appointed as the CBI director for the next two years.
NEW DELHI: The ‘technical’ ground that reportedly eliminated senior IPS officials such as Rakesh Asthana and Y C Modi from the race for CBI director’s post – minimum six-month tenure remaining for a DG-level appointment – may not have ramifications for appointments at the helm of other Central police organisations with sources insisting that the SC ruling in this regard only applies to state DGPs selection.
According to some senior IPS officers that TOI spoke to, the Supreme Court 2019 ruling that only officers with at least six-months left for their superannuation, should be considered for appointment as DGPs pertains exclusively to the state police. A senior government functionary, who did not want to be named, endorsed this view.
