Civil Writ Petition No. 11003 of 2011 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Civil Writ Petition No. 11003 of 2011 Date of Decision: 9.6.2011 M/s S.S. Construction Company …Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and Others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Anupam Singla, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) Issue notice of motion. On asking of the Court, Ms. Gurveen H. Singh, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Mr. Ghulam Nabi Malik, Advocate, has caused appearance on behalf of the complainant, who has not been impleaded as a party. A copy of the petition has been supplied to them. The present writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying a writ in the nature of Certiorari be issued thereby quashing the orders dated 27.5.2011 (Annexures P3 and P4), whereby enlistment of the petitioner as a Class-I Contractor has been cancelled. Mr. Singla submits that if the veil is lifted, the orders are stigmatic in nature. Civil Writ Petition No. 11003 of 2011 2 The only grievance made, during the course of arguments, is that an adverse order has been passed against the petitioner without affording any opportunity of hearing and thus, it violates the principles of natural justice. Learned counsel for the respondents, after going through the contents of the writ petition, has submitted that the Executive Engineer, Vigilance & Quality Control Division, Amritsar, has found that conduct of the petitioner is such that he is not entitled to be retained as a Contractor. She has further submitted that a due opportunity of hearing will be granted to the petitioner and the decision shall be taken within a stipulated time. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, the impugned orders dated 27.5.2011 (Annexures P3 and P4), are set aside only on the ground that an opportunity of hearing has not been afforded to the petitioner. The respondents are directed to issue a Show Cause Notice calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why his enlistment be not cancelled. In case, the petitioner files a reply to the Show Cause Notice, the same shall be considered and final decision shall be taken thereupon in accordance with the provisions of law within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The present writ petition stands disposed of. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge June 9, 2011 “DK”
