THE STATE OF ODISHA vs M/S PANDA INFRAPROJECT LIMITED

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals by the State of Odisha against the High Court's orders that quashed the state's ban on the contractor, M/s Panda Infraproject Limited, from participating in government contracts. The Court found that the High Court's decision to remove the contractor from the blacklist was justified, as the contractor had fulfilled the obligations of the contract despite the earlier incident of a slab collapse. The appeals were dismissed, upholding the High Court's rulings.
