2 The claim of the petitioner is that he applied for the post of Driver in the services of Puducherry Road Transport Corporation and certificate verification was also done in the year 2006 and the petitioner also attended the skill test followed by the written test on 06.02.2006 and nothing had fructified and thereafter, once again he applied for the said post during the year 2008 and the petitioner participated in the selection process ; but the same was dropped down due to unknown reasons. The petitioner would further state that once again, during the year 2010, selection was conducted to recruit drivers on daily rated wages and the petitioner has also participated in same and in the selection list of 138 drivers released by the 2^nd respondent, the petitioner's name appeared in Sl.No.52, Code No.PDM 127 and however, he is yet to be favoured with any order. In this regard, the petitioner has also submitted a representation on 18.09.2015 to the respondents and since no orders have been passed, he came forward to file this writ petition.
