Vahanvati, Parasaran tender AG and SG resignation papers

Wednesday, 28 May 2014 By Legally India Bar, Bench & Litigation

Attorney General Goolam Vahanvati and Solicitor General Mohan Parasaran have tendered their resignations as is customary on change of government, reported the PTI. The AG’s and the SG’s tenures are conventionally co-terminus with the term of the existing government.

According to speculation senior advocates Harish Salve and Mukul Rohatgi are contenders for the post of AG, while Ranjit Kumar is frontrunner for the SG’s post.

Vahanvati – the first Muslim to become the top law officer of the country - was appointed AG in 2009, after being SG for five years during the UPA-I’s rule.

Son of former AG K Parasaran, Parasaran was appointed SG after senior advocate Rohinton Nariman resigned mid-tenure from the post. He was appointed ASG by UPA-I in 2004.

I wonder where Goolam will go ! He didn't have a Supreme Court practice before being brought to Delhi, as our country's Solicitor General. The way I see it, that's just the beginning of his worries. If Goolam stays back, he will even have to bow down to Rohinton and Gopal (incidentally, they both have long tenures as judges in the Supreme Court). They have served as his subordinates, during their short lived tenures as SG's and know him, now only, just too well...
