Regarding his removal as Court Commissioner by the Court, Ajay Kumar Mishra Advocate Mishra said, “What can I do about it ? I hired the photographer, and he cheated. I did nothing wrong. I was betrayed by Vishal Singh. He took advantage of my trusting nature. We prepared the report together till midnight last night. I had no idea Vishal Singh was conspiring against me. I feel really sad. I was not biased. I will not say anything about the survey, the Court did what it thought was right.”
