NEW DELHI /
Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi is believed to be not interested in the continuation of his tenure as the country’s senior law officer as he wanted to get back to private practice.
Rohatgi has written to the Narendra Modi government, saying he is not interested in the continuation of his tenure as the nation’s senior law officer and wishes to get back to private practice.
“I have worked for five years as law officer under the Vajpayee government and now three years under the Modi government,” the Attorney General told NDTV. “I want to return to my private practice. I have a good relationship with the government… That’s why I wrote to the government not to extend my term.”
Decision on Mr Rohatgi’s resignation will be taken after the law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad returns from Bihar on June 13.
