NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R. Ramachandran Nair, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No. 31712 of 2009-h - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 5th day of January, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner herein is a registered A Class Government Contractor who has executed a number of projects for the State of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. 2. The grievance raised in the writ petition is that there is a proposal to blacklist the petitioner which is evidenced by Ext.P3. A reading of Ext.P3 only shows that the Government has called for a report from the Chief Engineer, National Highways, Trivandrum with regard to the allegations against the petitioner. Actually, Ext.P3 is not an order whereby the petitioner has been blacklisted. Therefore, further action in the matter is yet to be finalised regarding their blacklisting, evidently by the competent authority. 3. If any further action is taken pursuant to Ext.P3 for blacklisting, the petitioner will be issued notice and their contentions also will be considered in accordance with law. It is made clear that I have not expressed anything on the merits of the matter. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)
