Who will be new Chief Secretary in Maharashtra?

Mystery shrouds the delay in the extension of service to the present Maharashtra Chief Secretary Nitin Kareer who is scheduled to retire on March 31. Traditionally, the incumbent is continued till election process is over. Meanwhile, a panel of three names consisting of Sujata Saunik, Rajesh Kumar and I S Chahal has been  sent to the Election Commission for Chief Secretary Maharashtra. If seniority  is any criteria then  Sujata  Saunik  should get it but big chance that I S Chahal  may get it.
