IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11412 of 2009 M/S GHANSHYAM LAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 7.9.2009 The petitioner had earlier moved this Court in C.W.J.C.No.7126/09, whereby he challenged the notice inviting tender published in ‘Hindustan Daily’ dated 8.6.2009 with respect to the work of I.R.Q.P. and Cross Drainage and Road Saving Work. This Court directed return of earnest money and further observed that respondents would not restrain the petitioner from participating in fresh tender if he had not been otherwise prohibited from participating in the same. However the respondent no.3 in hot haste passed the order blacklisting him on 19.8.2009. The aforesaid order is contained in Annexure-7. The petitioner states that there was no ground for blacklisting him. He further submits that the respondent no.3 has passed the aforesaid order blacklisting him without issuing show cause and complying with principles of natural justice. Mr.P.K.Verma, learned counsel for the State submits that an appeal is provided under the provision under section 11(k) of Bihar Contractors Registration Rules 2007. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties this writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to move the appellate authority. It would also be open to the petitioner to pray for interim relief before the authority itself. 2 If any interim petition is filed before the appellate authority, he will dispose of the same within seven days from the date of receipt of the same alongwith a copy of this order.
