In my view, the government needs to be stern about granting any extension to a judicial commission. The duration of a commission should be well deliberated upon at the time of its constitution, and once finalised, every possible step should be taken to ensure that it is adhered to. A judicial commission should fulfill its raison d’etre, even if it calls for extra or special powers to be vested in it and larger budgets to be granted.
