The Tripura government is in a fix over the high court order on a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking early publication of the judicial inquiry commission's report on the assassinations of former health minister of the Left Front government Bimal Sinha and his younger brother Bidyut on March 31, 1998.

The report of the commission, headed by retired justice of Calcutta High Court K.M. Yusuf, was submitted to the state government on January 31, 2000, but it has not yet been released or tabled in the Assembly as required by Clause-3 of Judicial Inquiry Commission Act.

It is alleged that successive Left Front governments of wilfully suppressing the report "which contains inconvenient details of the CPM's underhand nexus with the militants".

Despite the Commission having submitted the report in 2000, the government didn’t table the report in the Assembly. However, the HC asked the state government o publish the report within the stipulated time.
