What is the complaint referred in the post ?

Incomplete facts.

It would be appropriate to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts / document, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

Sir a government cable contractor are also contractors only. Is it possible to contest as election rules.?

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     14 December 2022

On what analogy you feel that a contractor (even if biding for govt contracts) cannot contest elections?

 

Is he employed by Govt on salary?

Sir the candidate is a cable tv contractor.it is under tamilnadu government . Whoever under this cable tv are called( LCO) LOCAL CABLE OPERATORS . Also everymonth government paying amount to LCO. so whoever getting amount from a government will be treated as direct or subsidary employee only. This is my doubt.  

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     31 December 2022

whether he is (or is not ) in employment of govt.  Given facts indicate he is mere contractor.

A LCO is not a government employee hence he is not restricted from contesting election(s)
