The learned standing counsel for the Devaswom Board and the learned Government Pleader for the State would submit that the time is too short now to be able to do anything considerable in the matter. But, they undertake to the Court to take reasonable steps as per the master plan, which are being developed, at an early date. Surely the things would be much better by the next year when the rituals are to be performed.

¶43

With this undertaking, this petition will stand disposed of.
