Smt.M.Venkateswari, learned counsel for the petitioner, would vehemently contend that security guards have been picked and chosen for being meted unjust treatment at the hands of the Corporation, and while all other posts are categorized as regional posts, the post of Security Guards alone has been categorized as Zonal post, that too only from 1997. Learned counsel would further submit, across the bar, that the said classification also violates the petitioner’s fundamental right under Article 16 of the Constitution of India on the ground of residence. On a query from this Court as to whether there was any plea in this regard in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, learned counsel would submit that instead of inviting an order from this Court on merits, it would suffice if the petitioner is permitted to submit a detailed representation to the first respondent and the first respondent is directed to consider the representation. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of permitting the petitioner to submit a representation to the first respondent within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, and the first respondent is directed to consider the said representation and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of such representation. No costs. __________ 13.04.2007 sh
