Court No. - 3 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 9368 of 2023 Petitioner :- Meraj Ahmad Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Public Works Deptt. Lko. And Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Gyanendra Pathak,Adarsh Kumar Tripathi Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Vivek Chaudhary,J. Hon'ble Manish Kumar,J. Petitioner has approached this Court challenging the impugned order dated 14.07.2023 whereby he has been black listed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits two fold submissions. First submission is that the impugned order is passed without considering the reply submitted by the petitioner and the second one is that by the impugned order petitioner has been permanently blacklisted without prescribing any time limit. Perusal of the impugned order itself shows that order is passed ex-parte to the petitioner without considering his reply and without prescribing any time limit, therefore order dated

14.07.2023 is set aside with liberty to the respondent no. 4 to pass afresh order in case he so desires, after giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioner by speaking and reasoned order, in accordance with law prescribing the time limit for blacklisting. Writ petition is disposed of. (Manish Kumar,J) (Vivek Chaudhary,J) Order Date :- 19.10.2023 Ashish High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
