Blacklisting of a Contractor must be justified against the nature of alleged breach - Techno Prints Case

Breach of contract or failure to perform a contract or abide by the terms of a contract can usually lead to termination of contract or a claim for specific performance or damages and compensation or payment of dues.
In a contract arising out of a tender, blacklisting of the contractor may also be available as a remedy for breach, if the tender terms provide for such.
In matters of tender, the parties are bound by the terms of the contract and by the provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 alongwith the precedents on the issue.
Supreme Court and High Courts have provided that blacklisting, as a remedy for breach, cannot be applied arbitrarily.
