The Supreme Court has sought response from the Centre within 2 weeks, over the issue of Genetically Modified or GM crops. The direction came yesterday while hearing on a contempt petition filed by an activist claiming that Government was seeking to approve GM Mustard, going against the report of a Technical Expert Committee.<br/><br/>The petition alleged, the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee disobeyed the apex court's orders and willfully proceeded with numerous field trials in GM food crops.<br/><br/>The plea said, these field trials have ignored fundamental bio-safety precautions as ordered by the court.<br/><br/>
