Govt advocate has to resign for contesting the election, because he is holding a office of profit. He need not be in pay roll, but he is a Government servant.

If it is a office of profit then how can a person is practicing as an advocate as the advocate himself is not allowed to hold a office of profit. Govt advoacte who represent the state as pp is not holding a office of profit.
