In the end, Governor-General Ratu Sir George Cakobau appointed Sir Timoci Tuivaga instead. Mishra resigned from the bench in 1987 following the coup on 14 May, led by Lieutenant Colonel Sitiveni Rabuka, saying, "I will not serve under those bandits." In retirement, Mishra faded from public view. He devoted his time to his family, and to his lifelong passion of reading. He also made occasional trips to Kashmir. Vice-President Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi called Mishra "a fortress of rectitude and integrity that was never breached." * v * t * e * v * t * e (en)
