Judgment 1. This letters patent appeal is directed against the order of 6 January, 2003 in CWJC. No. 10361 of 2002 : M/s Pramoda Nand Prasad & Company V/s. State of Bihar & Ors. 2. The facts are already noticed in the order, which has been impugned. Earlier another company, which had been blacklisted along with the petitioner-appellant, had filed a writ petition (CWJC. No. 8798 of 2002). In that writ petition, the court had indicated that proceedings be taken afresh, in effect, by issuing a fresh show cause notice. The petitioner-appellant had received a show cause notice. This was in the context of that the work which the petitioner- company had discharged, had not conformed with the specifications and the materials used were sub-standard. These ate serious allegations. 3. The assertions against the petitioner-appellant were based on an inspection which was joined by the Honble Minister also. This is not a case where the petitioner-appellant has been black-listed without reason or without giving him an opportunity. It is the petitioner-appellants case that a show cause notice had, in fact, been issued. The petitioner-appellant gave a reply. Upon considering the reply, the State-respondents took the action to black-List the petitioner-appellant. 4. The fact that the petitioner-appellant has been black listed (a) is not without cause and (b) it is after affording him an opportunity. 5. In the circumstances, the court has no reason to differ with the order recorded on the writ petition. 6. Dismissed.
