The Supreme Court on Monday questioned why a fresh forensic report on the authenticity of audio clips allegedly linking former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh to the ethnic violence in the state had not been submitted even though it had been sought three months ago, Live Law reported. In February, the court had directed the Central Forensic Science Laboratory to examine the clips and submit its findings in a sealed cover. After reviewing the report, a bench of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar in May said that it was not satisfied with the analysis given by the laboratory and asked for a fresh report.
