"Report on the other two samples has not been published yet," he said, adding that the delay has been caused as investigators had to re-send DNA samples to FBI.
The bench expressed dissatisfaction over the matter and set November 14 to pass an order.
Advocate Fawzia Karim Firoze stood for Tanvir while Deputy Attorney General Md Sarwar Hossain represented the state.
