Mishra served as Director of Public Prosecutions before his appointment to the High Court as a puisne judge.
His interpretations of criminal law were pivotal in the development of Fiji's justice system.
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."
Vice-President Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi called Mishra "a fortress of rectitude and integrity that was never breached."
