Attorney General (A-G) K.K. Venugopal has been re-appointed as the country’s top law officer for a period of three months, the Law Ministry said in a notification on Wednesday.
Mr. Venugopal, whose current one-year term ends on June 30, agreed to a short tenure following a request from the government. The sources cited above said that he was initially not willing to continue in the Constitutional post due to "personal reasons".
“The President is pleased to re-appoint Shri K.K. Venugopal, Senior Advocate as Attorney General for India with effect from July 1, 2022 for a further period of three months or until further orders, whichever is earlier,” read the official gazette notification.
