The MCC came into force on October 6, the day the ECI announced the by-election schedule for the Jubilee Hills by-election. The by-election was held on November 11, and results were declared on November 14.

The MCC, which was in force since the announcement of the election schedule, no longer applies as the election process in the constituency is duly completed, said Karnan.
