THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1424 of 2005 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner, which is a registered partnership firm involved in the business of manufacturing, trading and marketing in all types of communication systems, questions the Memo bearing No.13946/EI/2003-15, dated 16.07.2004, by which, the second respondent – Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad, was directed to blacklist the petitioner firm, and consequently, the second respondent passed order in Proc.No. /CE/MCH/TA1/K1/2004-711, dated 24.07.2004, blacklisting the petitioner firm. The aforesaid orders were passed against the petitioner and two other firms, namely, Krishna Engineering Works and M/s.S.R. Communications Systems, Hyderabad, which in turn, filed W.P.No.13486 of 2004 and this Court vide order, dated 11.08.2009, allowed the writ petition by setting aside the order, dated 24.07.2004, passed by the second respondent. When the matter is taken up, the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the second respondent submitted that the subject matter of the writ petition is covered in view of the order, dated 11.08.2009, passed by this Court in W.P.No.13486 of 2004. From a perusal of the record produced by the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the second respondent and also the impugned order, there is no indication of giving any prior notice and opportunity to the petitioner before blacklisting it for undertaking contracts. It is well settled that unless an opportunity is given to the affected person, no order of blacklisting can be passed. For the aforesaid reasons and in view of the order, dated 11.08.2009, passed by this Court in W.P.No.13486 of 2004, this writ petition is allowed and the Memo, dated 16.07.2004, issued by the first respondent and the consequential order, dated 24.07.2004, passed by the second respondent, are hereby set aside. However, it is made clear that this order will not preclude the respondents to issue notice and opportunity to the petitioner and to take appropriate steps. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 9th SEPTEMBER, 2010. kvni
