A Bench of Justices Anil Kshetarpal and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, however, said no further request for extension of time would be entertained.
The lawyers appearing for the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said they were not opposing the Lokpal's request for extension of time by two months.
"The period of disposal is extended by two months while observing that no further request for extension of time will be entertained," the Bench ordered.
