4. The reply given to the petitioner under Right to Information Act, 2005 dated 21.05.2014 shows that the select list of Assistant (Jr.) was published by MKCL on internet on the webside of MSRTC. Obviously, name of petitioner was not there in the said select list.
5. Reply filed by M.S.R.T.C. shows that the Class-IV posts of Assistant (Jr.) were reserved for the categories i.e. Women (30%), Ex-Servicemen (15%), Part-time [अंशकालीन] (10%), Project Affected (5%), Earthquake Affected (2%) and Sports (5%).
6. Since the petitioner did not belong to any of these categories, he was not selected.
7. In this view of the matter, we find no merit in the writ petition.
8. Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed.
