(5)A list of persons with whom shops will not be settled in the following year referred to as the "Debarred List' should be prepared every year by Deputy Commissioner and Sub-divisional Officers. The Debarred List should be completed at least a week before the date fixed for receiving tenders and all prospective tenders should be advised before submitting their tenders to consult this list, which will be open to inspection on request. The object of this rule is to prevent debarred persons from submitting tenders which under the Settlement Instructions cannot even be considered. The Debarred List should include not only the names of those persons who have been debarred by the Deputy Commissioner or Sub-divisional Officer of the District or sub-division concerned (the orders in the latter case having been confirmed by the Deputy Commissioner) but also so far as possible the names of persons who have been debarred in other districts. It is recognized that owing to the different dates of settlement in different districts it will not be possible in all cases for a district officer to forward to other district officers his complete Debarred List but so much of the list as is ready and will be in time to be useful at the settlements in other districts should invariably be sent.
