Subject : Model Code of Conduct _ Complaint Reg.

It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that several major tenders, auctions etc. relating to matters such as liquor vends, tendu leaves and other such cases are being processed currently. The possibility that some of these auctions might result in unfair advantage/disadvantage to the party in power/others cannot ignored.

2. The Commission, therefore, directs that in all cases where major such auctions etc. are to be held, they should be put off till the last date of completion of elections in the concerned areas and the State Government should make interim arrangements where unavoidably necessary.

3. Departures from this will be considered as serious violations of the code of conduct.
