It is stated that the said judgment is not being implemented on the basis of the Code of Conduct ordered by the Election Commissioner. In the judgment in WP(c).No.8383/09 and connected cases, this court has already clarified that in respect of permits or other orders to be issued pursuance to the court judgment, the circular issued by the Chief Electoral Officer, directing that the same be deferred, is inapplicable. Since the reliefs sought is based on Ext.P1 judgment of the Tribunal, the writ Petition is disposed of directing that the circular issued by the Chief Electoral Officer will not stand in the way of the RTA in allowing replacement or issuing temporary permit. It is directed that temporary permit shall be granted within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE vi
