The current Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta has been reappointed by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) for a three-year term.
ACC’s decision reflects the confidence of the government in their abilities to handle the wide-ranging legal matters facing the country.
Apart from Tushar Mehta, six other law officers have been given extension as Additional Solicitors General (ASG) in the Supreme Court, though the duration of their tenure is yet to be released.
These ASGs include Vikramjit Banerjee, KM Nataraj, Balbir Singh, Suryaprakash V Raju, N Venkataraman and Aishwarya Bhati.
The ACC’s decision to extend his terms underlines the importance of his expertise and contribution to protecting the interests of the government in complex legal matters.
