Bihar assembly speaker Prem Kumar has extended the deadline for Mokama MLA Anant Singh to respond to a notice seeking disqualification from the assembly. The new deadline is 30 November, giving Singh more time to prepare his reply. Singh had sought additional time citing his daughter's wedding preparations. The wedding is scheduled for 25 November. The notice was sent after JD(U) sought Singh's disqualification for anti-party activities, following which he was expelled from the party for six years. In a separate case, the Supreme Court has ordered Singh to surrender by 4 December in the Dularchand Yadav murder case. It is expected that Singh will first respond to the assembly notice after his daughter's wedding and then surrender.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both outlets report the same core fact, the deadline extension, and attribute it to Singh's wedding. Prabhat Khabar adds the context of JD(U)'s expulsion and the 4 December surrender order, which Amar Ujala mentions separately. Neither outlet takes a side, the coverage is uniformly factual. The key watch item is whether Singh replies by 30 November or seeks further time.
