The writ petitioner made a claim for an order of appointment on the ground that when the land belonging to his family was claimed for acquisition, there was a promise by the respondents that an employment will be provided in Neyveli Lignite Corporation. The petitioner was waiting for an order of appointment from the respondents, since the land belonged to the writ petitioner's family was acquired. But he did not receive any order of appointment from the respondents. In this regard, the petitioner made a representation to the respondents on 10.01.2014. In spite of all these, no action has been taken by the respondents. Hence, in the year 2014, this writ petition was filed.
