PATNA RGNL. DEV. ATY. vs RASHTRIYA PARIYOGANA NIRMAN NIGAM

The Supreme Court held that the decision of the Patna Regional Development Authority to not award a construction contract to Rashtriya Pariyojana Nirman Nigam due to its black-listing was valid, as the black-listing order was communicated to the respondent. The Court emphasized that principles of natural justice were not violated since the black-listing was properly executed. The Court overturned the Patna High Court's decision that had set aside the black-listing, thereby reinstating the original decision of the authority regarding the tender award.
