Earlier, Mishra’s appointmen­t was opposed by the mosque committee which had accused him of bias. They had also sought his removal, but Judge Diwakar had turned down their plea on Thursday.

The judge had also appointed two more advocates Special Advocate Commission­er Vishal Singh and Assistant Advocate Commission­er Ajay Pratap Singh --to help the court commission­er, and said the survey should be completed and a report filed on May 17.

However, Ajay Pratap Singh said the commission Tuesday sought additional time to submit the report as they have been able to ready just about “50 per cent of the report.”
