I doubt anyone read this: MEA 'bent' rules to favour Devyani Khobragade - The Economic Times
Some IFS office named Mahaveer Singhvi, same batch as Devyani, he was alotted a different language than the one he opted for. He had opted for German and had scored a higher rank than Devyani. But Devyani was given German.
The source of whatever I will write below is this: Mahaveer C. Singhvi vs Union Of India And Ors on 29 August, 2008
This guy was given Spanish and not his second preference German. That went to Devyani.
Then he protested against it. To know how it went to Devyani, read the following:
So this guy Mahaveer Singhvi was warned. Somehow this "bending of rules" leaked out to the media and came in newspaper. Mr. P.L. Goyal, the Additional Secretary or may be others developed an animosity for him?
Before all this, may be Mahaveer Singhvi has dated some girl for some time. The girl's family proposed a marriage. Mahaveer's family rejected. Then the girl's family started to plot against Mahaveer like a typical Hindi serial. yeah, true and I don't want to quote that. Aaaaand, somehow they forged an alliance with Mahaveer's "not-so-well wishers" aka enemies and Mahaveer Singhvi was wrongly dismissed.
Later he won the case after 6 years and has been reinstated with proper compensation.
Read the link I gave completely.
So, somehow Devyani's mischief for getting German almost costed this guy's career.

The availability of slots was indicated as follows; French -- 2 slots; German -- 1 slot; Russian -- 2 slots; Chinese -- 1 slot; Spanish -- 1 slot; and Arabic, -- 2 slots. The petitioner is stated to have indicated his language preference as, French, German, Arabic, and Spanish, in that order. According to the petitioner, since he was placed at serial number 5 in order of seniority in the batch consisting of 9 officers, the four officers senior to him were to be accommodated first. They were allotted French, Russian, Chinese and French respectively. Consequently, the two slots for French already stood exhausted. Since the slot for German was still vacant and his second preference happened to be German, the petitioner ought to have been allotted that language.

Then he protested against it. To know how it went to Devyani, read the following:
The petitioner states that his efforts to have this rectified ultimately resulted in a serious animosity with the second respondent, Mr. P.L. Goyal, who happened to be the Additional Secretary at that time. This happened because, after a fruitless meeting with The Joint Secretary, the petitioner met Mr. Goyal who informed him that for his batch of officers, the criteria for allocation had been changed. He said that this time, the criteria adopted was to grant the preferred language to officers by placing them in a new order, which consisted of choosing one from the top of the list, and the next from the very bottom, of the list of nine officers. By this method, the order of precedence for the allocation of foreign language to the officers in the petitioner's batch became 1, 9, 2, 8, 3, 7, 4, 6 and lastly, 5. Since the petitioner was placed at S.No.5, he was therefore, relegated to the very last place in order of precedence. When the petitioner protested against this utterly irrational method, he was warned by Mr. P.L. Goyal against raising any protest in this matter.
So this guy Mahaveer Singhvi was warned. Somehow this "bending of rules" leaked out to the media and came in newspaper. Mr. P.L. Goyal, the Additional Secretary or may be others developed an animosity for him?
