B ANDHONI DOSS Vs. STATE OF TAMIL NADU

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD the arguments of the learned counsel for the parties and perused the records.

(2.) THE prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the second respondent to appoint the petitioner as permanent Driver in the second respondent Corporation in terms of G.O. Ms. No. 21 dated 02.3.1998 issued by the first respondent.

(3.) IT was during this time, G.O. Ms. No. 21 Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department dated 02.3.1998 was issued by the first respondent Government prescribing the procedure for making appointment to the post of Drivers. Subsequent to the said order, the Corporation issued notices to individuals sponsored by the Employment Exchange to attend the interview. This clearly shows that there are vacancies for the post of Drivers and the Corporation was not filling up the same in the light of the Government Order. Therefore, the petitioner was forced to file the present writ petition.
