2018 (7) TMI 2078 - HC - Indian LawsPrinciples of Natural Justice - Blacklist and barred from participating in any transaction with Delhi Prisons Department - case of petitioner is that the impugned order has been passed without issuing any SCN to the petitioner, the petitioner was not afforded any opportunity of being heard; and also that the punitive measure imposed on the petitioner is impermissible inasmuch the petitioner has blacklisted the petitioner for all times to come - HELD THAT:- There is good ground to hold that a party cannot be blacklisted for all times to come. There may also be instances where the person to be blacklisted is able to persuade the concerned authority that the default on his part is not intentional and has been caused due to reasons beyond his control. Clearly, in a situation where the respondent is convinced of the bonafides of such person, a punitive measure may not be warranted. Mr Singh fairly states that the matter would be considered by the concerned authority afresh in the aforesaid light. Impugned order set aside - The respondents shall issue a notice of hearing to the petitioner (without setting out allegations or providing any further material). It will be open for the petitioner to make his submissions before the concerned authorities. The concerned authorities shall, thereafter, pass a speaking order within a period of twelve weeks from today - application disposed off.
