Justice M.S. Liberhan, who headed the commission investigating the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition, dies at 87, according to reports. Sources state that he died on Sunday and that his last rites are scheduled for Monday, with the information relayed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association. After retiring as chief justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on November 10, 2000, he continues to serve as the chair of the Liberhan Commission. The Hindu also details aspects of his legal career before the commission: he begins legal practice at the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 1964, is elected to the Punjab and Haryana Bar Council in August 1970, and serves on the council until February 11, 1987. Across the accounts, Liberhan’s role as the head of the commission remains the central element of his public legacy, alongside his prior judicial and legal career leading up to that appointment.
