P3 and P4 by which the contract was terminated and the petitioner was blacklisted. In W.P. (C) No. 28017 of 2007 the challenge is against Ext. P3 by which the petitioner was ordered to be blacklisted. It is not disputed before me that the impugned orders mentioned above were issued with notice to the petitioner or hearing them. Therefore, the orders impugned suffer from violation of natural justice and hence these orders are to be quashed. 2. Accordingly, Exts.P3 and P4 in W.P.(C) No. 28644/07 and Ext. P3 in W.P.(C) No. 28017/07 will stand quashed with liberty to the respondents to proceed afresh with notice to the petitioners and affording them an opportunity of being heard. Writ petitions are disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
