From the aforesaid submission made, it is clear that the concession tickets are issued to persons with disabilities and senior citizens through online facility. Various categories of the persons have been given the benefit. 4. In such view of the matter, we are of the view that no further orders are required. Apart from the same, booking online per se cannot be equated with that of the physical booking.

We would only expect respondents 4 to 6 to comply with the same in letter and spirit. No costs.
