JUDGMENT :
RAMESH SINHA, CJ.
1. Heard Mr. B.P. Sharma, Mr. Raza Ali and Mr. Saurabh Chaudhary, learned counsel for the petitioner(s) as well as Mr. Praveen Das, learned Additional Advocate General for the State/respondents.
2. The petitioner(s), by way of these petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, have prayed for the following relief(s):

Blacklisting a contractor for submitting a false experience certificate requires clear proof of intentional wrongdoing; failure to provide such evidence renders the action disproportionate.
The Petitioner's suppression of a material fact and approach to the Court with unclean hands led to the dismissal of the Petition.
Disqualification from tender processes necessitates adherence to procedural fairness; blacklisting without notice is arbitrary and invalid.
The court affirmed that submitting false documents in tender processes justifies disqualification and forfeiture of bid security under the relevant tender clauses.
