New Delhi: Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi is set to be appointed as the fourteenth Attorney General (AG) of India on 1 October after KK Venugopal vacates the post, said sources. This will be Rohatgi's second tenure as an AG, after he served the post for the first time between June 2014 and June 2017.

Earlier, a veteran lawyer and present Attorney General KK Venugopal expressed unwillingness to continue in the top law officer's post beyond September 30 citing health problems. Venugopal told a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court last week that his tenure ends on September 30.
