Somehow I did manage to pass the parameter from the dropdown to controller.
But the problem is here - I am getting it as string.

In Controller:----

class ReportController < ApplicationController
  
  REPORT1         = "type =?", "Box"
  REPORT2         = "action = ? and type =?", "create", "Square"


 def report
   param = params[:audit_report] // How to convert this string to an object 
or static variable ? Or what is the best way to do it ?
   @report_data              = 
(Audited::Adapters::ActiveRecord::Audit.where(param))
// If I am passing this param, it comes as a string not as static varaible 
in this controller.
 end

end

In View :----

<script type="text/javascript">
        function audit_options(selected_audit){
 jQuery("#reports").load("/audit_report/report?audit_report=" + 
selected_audit);  
        }
</script>

<%= select_tag "reports_name", options_for_select([["User1", "REPORT1"], 
["User2", "REPORT2"]]), :onchange =>"audit_options(this.value)" %>

<div id="reports">
 </div>
