Apprehension of violence does not create a class-based exemption from meeting obligations under statutory meeting provisions.

The administrative view holds that companies apprehending violence do not form a class of companies for exemption under the proviso to sub section (2) of section 166 because sporadic difficulties affecting some firms in a city, without objective criteria distinguishing them from unaffected firms, do not justify treating the entire city as a disturbed area or granting blanket exemption from meeting obligations.
