IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14453 of 2009 UDAY SHANKAR PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 4.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Submission of learned counsel of the petitioner is that without giving an opportunity of hearing petitioner’s name figure in the list of 147 contractors who have been debarred from participating in any future contract. The order is annexure-1 dated 31.7.2009. Name of the petitioner figure at serial no. 38. Since the order has civil consequence for the petitioner therefore the matter ought to be interfered with. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that some facts are not in dispute that the contract for 7.55 K.M. for construction of road granted to the petitioner on 14.5.2007 had to be completed by 13.11.2007. Since it was not done that is the reason why annexure-1 had to be issued not only against the petitioner but large number of such contractors. Learned counsel for the State submits that it is a temporary debar which has been imposed upon the petitioner only with the object of getting the contract completed even at this belated stage. It is not a case of complete disqualification or blacklisting for all times to come. The fact speaks for itself. It requires no interference by this Court. The delay in completion of the contract is the main issue. If he is interested in taking other responsibility - 2 - or assignment from the State of Bihar he has an obligation to meet the dead line imposed under the contract for the work in hand. This writ application is dismissed being devoid of merit. Petitioner would be well advised to complete the contract work. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
