STEREOPHONIC MUSIC in HINDI MOVIES before 90s

Listening to great music by R.D. Burman in track ‘pyaar mein dil pe maar de goli’ from movie Mahaan ( the recording is such that one can feel ‘goli’ traversing across brain through ears ) , i always wonder , who was the pioneer of stereophonic ( separate recording over left & right channels ) music in hindi movies ? Was it Pancham or LP or someone else ? Which musician composed first ever stereophonic track for hindi movie ?

Among all the original HMV , MIL hindi movie audio cassettes and genuine audio CDs i’ve heard , i’ve found that the tracks of movie ‘Jal bin machhli nritya bin Bijli’ were stereophonic for the first time. Year of release was 1971 and music was by Lakshmikant-Pyarelal. The popular tracks being ‘taaro mein saj ke’ by Mukesh and title song by Lataji.

( Any stereophonic hindi movie track,before 1971 ? Please let me know ! )

Also found music by Laxmikant Pyarelal in these movies stereophonic :
