GORKHA SECURITY SERVICES vs GOVT. OF NCT OF DELHI

The Supreme Court ruled that a show cause notice must explicitly propose the action of blacklisting for it to be valid under administrative law principles. The Court held that the absence of a specific mention of blacklisting in the notice issued to Gorkha Security Services rendered the action of blacklisting invalid. The judgment emphasized the necessity of clear communication in administrative actions, particularly when affecting the rights of parties under the contract.
