            Sohrabuddin case: Shah opposes apex court's 
            CBI probe order 
            
            Thursday November 24, 2011 07:52:20 PM,

              New Delhi: 
              The Supreme Court was told Thursday that its 2010 order directing 
              the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe the 2005 
              Sohrabuddin Sheikh staged shootout killing in Gujarat suffered 
              from an "apparent bias" and there was a "motivation to please the 
              CBI".
 Senior counsel Ram Jethmalani, appearing for accused and former 
              Gujarat minister Amit Shah, urged an apex court bench of Justice 
              Aftab Alam and Justice R.P. Desai to declare the proceedings 
              flowing from the court's order Jan 12, 2010 on CBI probe as 
              invalid.

            26/11 survivors live with ugly scars and deafening silence 
              Life moves on, 
              but what remains are the ugly scars. Nearly three years after the 
              gruesome attack on Mumbai, 26/11 is still fresh in the minds of 
              survivors and victims' families, many of whom mince no words while 
              saying that security has hardly improved and lives still come 
              cheap.
