Failing to complete its task within the repeatedly extended timeframe, the Liberhan Commission, probing the circumstances leading to demolition of Babri Masjid, was on Wednesday given its 42nd extension for two more months.

The term of the Commission, set up almost soon after the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition, has now been extended till December 31, official sources said.
