Writ Appeal No.825 of 2011 .................................................................... Dated this the 11th day of July, 2011. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The petitioner-society is engaged in procurement of paddy and payment to the farmers. In a Vigilance enquiry, petitioner is found to have paid amounts which are less than the amount due to the farmers. Consequently petitioner is blacklisted vide Ext.P2 order. Petitioner filed the Writ Petition for lifting the blacklisting which was turned down by the learned Single Judge stating that since blacklisting is already done and since petitioner has not challenged it, there is no scope for reconsidering the matter again. Even though we do not find any merit in the Writ Appeal, counsel submitted that petitioner wants to withdraw the W.P.(C) and challenge Ext.P2. We, therefore, dispose of the Writ Appeal by stating that the findings and observations in the 2 impugned judgment does not stand in the way of petitioner challenging Ext.P2 order.
