Upon going through the counter-affidavit, we find that sufficient arrangements have been made by the Devasthanam for darshan of Lord Sri Venkateswara so as to see that people can have darshan without spending much of their time while standing in the queue. We are satisfied with the arrangements made by respondent No.2 and, therefore, we do not see any reason to give any further guidelines.
