Kishun Jangde v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioner challenged his blacklisting on an Excise Department web-portal, which was done without any show-cause notice, inquiry or hearing. The court noted that the petitioner had submitted representations seeking removal of his name and that similar matters had been corrected by the same court. Without expressing any opinion on the merits, the court directed the Managing Director of the Chhattisgarh State Marketing Corporation Limited to reconsider the petitioner's representations objectively, afford a hearing if necessary, and pass a reasoned speaking order within 45 days.
