Lakshmi, had the potential to be "ground-breaking" in furthering solar panel development, a lawyer for the institute wrote.
The majority of specimens that were meant to be kept at -80C were "compromised, destroyed and rendered unsalvageable, demolishing more than 20 years of research", according to the legal case.
