Gorkha Security Services vs Govt. Of Nct Of Delhi & Ors

The Supreme Court held that a show cause notice must explicitly state the proposed action of blacklisting for it to be valid under administrative law principles. The Court emphasized that while a show cause notice is mandatory before blacklisting, the absence of explicit mention of blacklisting in the notice does not automatically invalidate it if the noticee understands the implications. The Court ruled in favor of the appellant, indicating that the notice did not meet the necessary legal standards for blacklisting, thus setting aside the blacklisting action.
