The Collegium in its resolution published in the Supreme Court website mentioned that the government gave good inputs about advocate Mishra and judicial officer Behera. 

“The inputs received from the Government indicate that Mishra has a good personal and professional image and nothing adverse has come to notice with regard to his integrity. Having regard to the above, the Collegium is of the considered view that Shri Sibo Sankar Mishra is suitable for being appointed as a Judge of the High Court of Orissa,” read the resolution.
