&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;A special CBI court on Friday convicted former coal secretary H C Gupta and others in a case pertaining to the allocation of a coal block to Kamal Sponge Steel and Power Limited (KSSPL).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gupta is the first secretary-rank officer to be convicted in a case pertaining to coal block allocation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Special CBI judge Bharat Parashar also convicted the coal ministry&#039;s former joint secretary K S Kropha and K C Samaria, who was then director in the ministry&#039;s section dealing with allocation of coal blocks, besides KSSPL and its former managing director P K Ahluwalia under the Prevention of Corruption Act and for criminal conspiracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The court found all of them guilty of cheating and corruption in the allocation of Rudrapur coal block in Madhya Pradesh to KSSPL after the CBI filed a case of alleged irregularities against them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Posting the date for pronouncing the quantum of punishment on May 22, the court acquitted chartered accountant Amit Goyal of all charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gupta enjoys considerable sympathy among both serving and retired bureaucrats, who consider him to be a collateral victim in the clamour for accountability for the mega scam in allocation of coal blocks under the UPA government. &amp;quot;He simply happened to be at the wrong place at a wrong time and got caught in the maelstrom he could not have dodged simply because of the position he occupied as secretary of the ministry,&amp;quot; said an officer sympathetic to Gupta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The IAS Officers&#039; Association declined to comment, saying the case was sub judice.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;A special CBI court on Friday convicted former coal secretary H C Gupta and others in a case pertaining to the allocation of a coal block to Kamal Sponge Steel and Power Limited (KSSPL).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gupta is the first secretary-rank officer to be convicted in a case pertaining to coal block allocation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Special CBI judge Bharat Parashar also convicted the coal ministry&#039;s former joint secretary K S Kropha and K C Samaria, who was then director in the ministry&#039;s section dealing with allocation of coal blocks, besides KSSPL and its former managing director P K Ahluwalia under the Prevention of Corruption Act and for criminal conspiracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The court found all of them guilty of cheating and corruption in the allocation of Rudrapur coal block in Madhya Pradesh to KSSPL after the CBI filed a case of alleged irregularities against them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Posting the date for pronouncing the quantum of punishment on May 22, the court acquitted chartered accountant Amit Goyal of all charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gupta enjoys considerable sympathy among both serving and retired bureaucrats, who consider him to be a collateral victim in the clamour for accountability for the mega scam in allocation of coal blocks under the UPA government. &amp;quot;He simply happened to be at the wrong place at a wrong time and got caught in the maelstrom he could not have dodged simply because of the position he occupied as secretary of the ministry,&amp;quot; said an officer sympathetic to Gupta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The IAS Officers&#039; Association declined to comment, saying the case was sub judice.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>A special CBI court on Friday convicted former coal secretary H C Gupta and others in a case pertaining to the allocation of a coal block to Kamal Sponge Steel and Power Limited (KSSPL).<br />
<br />
Gupta is the first secretary-rank officer to be convicted in a case pertaining to coal block allocation.<br />
<br />
Special CBI judge Bharat Parashar also convicted the coal ministry's former joint secretary K S Kropha and K C Samaria, who was then director in the ministry's section dealing with allocation of coal blocks, besides KSSPL and its former managing director P K Ahluwalia under the Prevention of Corruption Act and for criminal conspiracy.<br />
<br />
The court found all of them guilty of cheating and corruption in the allocation of Rudrapur coal block in Madhya Pradesh to KSSPL after the CBI filed a case of alleged irregularities against them.<br />
<br />
Posting the date for pronouncing the quantum of punishment on May 22, the court acquitted chartered accountant Amit Goyal of all charges.<br />
<br />
Gupta enjoys considerable sympathy among both serving and retired bureaucrats, who consider him to be a collateral victim in the clamour for accountability for the mega scam in allocation of coal blocks under the UPA government. &quot;He simply happened to be at the wrong place at a wrong time and got caught in the maelstrom he could not have dodged simply because of the position he occupied as secretary of the ministry,&quot; said an officer sympathetic to Gupta.<br />
<br />
The IAS Officers' Association declined to comment, saying the case was sub judice.<br />

Court convicts 1st secretary-level bureaucrat in Coalgate case

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: A special CBI court on Friday convicted former coal secretary H C Gupta and others in a case pertaining to the allocation of a coal block to Kamal Sponge Steel and Power Limited (KSSPL). Gupta is the first secretary-rank officer to be convicted in a case pertaining to coal block allocation. Special CBI judge Bharat Parashar also convicted the coal ministry's former joint secretary K S Kropha and K C Samaria, who was then director in the ministry's section dealing with allocation of coal blocks, besides KSSPL and its former managing director P K Ahluwalia under the Prevention of Corruption Act and for criminal conspiracy. The court found all of them guilty of cheating and corruption in the allocation of Rudrapur coal block in Madhya Pradesh to KSSPL after the CBI filed a case of alleged irregularities against them. Posting the date for pronouncing the quantum of punishment on May 22, the court acquitted chartered accountant Amit Goyal of all charges. Gupta enjoys considerable sympathy among both serving and retired bureaucrats, who consider him to be a collateral victim in the clamour for accountability for the mega scam in allocation of coal blocks under the UPA government. "He simply happened to be at the wrong place at a wrong time and got caught in the maelstrom he could not have dodged simply because of the position he occupied as secretary of the ministry," said an officer sympathetic to Gupta. The IAS Officers' Association declined to comment, saying the case was sub judice.
