KK Venugopal re-appointed as Attorney General
The current one-year term of the 90-year-old Senior Advocate expires on June 30
In a notification, the Ministry of Law has announced that Attorney General K.K. Venugopal has been re-appointed as the country's top law officer for a period of three months.
The notification read, "The President of India is pleased to re-appoint K.K. Venugopal, Senior Advocate, as Attorney General of India with effect from 1 July 2022 for a further period of three months or until further orders, whichever is earlier."
In July 2017, Venugopal was appointed by the President of India to succeed Mukul Rohatgi as the Attorney General. However, when his first term was to end in 2020, he requested the government to give him another one-year tenure and he was reappointed.
It is said that the government was keen that he continue as the Attorney General in view of the high-profile cases he was handling in the Supreme Court and his experience at the Bar.
Venugopal is an eminent advocate of the apex court, who served as the Additional Solicitor General of India between 1979 and 1980. In 2002, he was conferred the Padma Bhushan and in 2015 the Padma Vibhushan.
