Court frames charges against ex-coal secretary:Coal case
New Delhi: A special court here on Friday framed charges against former coal secretary H.C. Gupta and Pushp Steels and Mining Pvt. Ltd. in a coal block allocation case.
Special Judge Bharat Parashar framed charges dealing with criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and under various provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act against accused Gupta and company PSMPL.
After the accused pleaded not guilty and claimed trial, the court listed the matter for admission and denial of documents for March 30.
Observing that no incriminating evidence on record is against company director Atul Jain, the court on February 18 had discharged him from the case.
The case pertains to allocation of Madhya Pradesh’s Brahmapuri coal block to Pushp Steels and Mining Pvt. Ltd (PSMPL).
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a fresh charge sheet in the case on May 20 last year, claiming the company allegedly misrepresented facts while applying for coal blocks.
The CBI has alleged that Gupta conspired with the company and its director, and allocated Brahmapuri coal block in favour of PSMPL, violating all guidelines laid down in this regard.
The allocation was also against the recommendations of the state of Madhya Pradesh and the ministry of steel.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
