Dear Aashish,

Your answer lies only in the Conduct Rules prescribed by the concerned State Government for the employees of the Government College.

Arvind Singh Chauhan (Expert) 10 November 2011
If it is fully Govt. college he can't.

But if it is a govt added college and managed and controlled by a body for management, he can contest.

I go with Arvind.

Such dubious Questions can never be answered
with certainty.

However the answer could be found with reference to Article 243 of the Constitution of India as well as Municipal board Act and election Act of the state,

So Mr.Satupute as you want a very particular answer with reference to law applicable to your case you ought to have visited us with particular facts too.

My answer is sufficient guidance with aid whereof you can search the law.

On principle footing i go with Mr.Arvind
that if it is a GOVERNMENT college HE CAN NOT but in case ITS A PRIVATE BUT GOVT.AIDED COLLEGE HE CAN.

If the Principal of the Govt college wants to contest the municipal elections, he should resign the job and file his nomination for elction. Generally the election rules prohibit any person holding an office of profit in the Govt from contesting the elections. Check up with Election Rules applicable to the Municipal elections of your State.
