Case Summary: CWJC/1016/2025 The Patna High Court allowed Kundan Kumar's petition and set aside the Municipal Corporation Chapra's indefinite blacklisting order (dated 23.08.2024) that barred him from contractual work. The court held that indefinite blacklisting violates principles of fairness and proportionality, lacks statutory backing, and must specify a definite period. The matter was remitted to the competent authority to pass a fresh, reasoned order complying with legal standards on blacklisting.
