Bulandshahr case: SC unhappy over non-appearance of Azam Khan

The Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed unhappiness over non-appearance of Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan through his lawyer in connection with the sensational Bulandshahr gangrape case and asked CBI to serve a fresh notice on the Samajwadi Party leader.
