Bmc elections 2012

Dear sir, my query is that can a practising advocate contest elections such as the coming BMC elections 2012. And does the advocate would require to surrender his/ her Sanat with the Bar Council & cease or discontinue with his/her Legal Practice... what would be the process to be followed by an Advocate to contest the BMC elections 2012... Please advise

An Advocate can very well contest not only the Municipal election, but any election. There is absolutely no need to surrender the Sanad.
