New Delhi, Sep 10 : The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the proposal for appointment of six senior advocates as Additional Solicitor Generals (ASG) in the Supreme Court.

Senior advocates S Dwarakanath, Archana Pathak Dave, Satya Darshi Sanjay, Brijender Chahar, Raghavendra P. Shankar and Rajkumar Bhaskar Thakare (Raja Thakare) were appointed as ASGs for a period of three years, or until further orders, whichever is earlier, as per the notification issued by the Union Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions.

The Centre appointed these senior advocates as ASGs to strengthen its legal team in the apex court.

Earlier in June this year, the ACC approved the re-appointment of Tushar Mehta as Solicitor General of India for a period of three years.

Further, KM Nataraj, Vikramjit Banerjee, SV Raju, N Venkataraman, and Aishwarya Bhati were re-appointed as ASGs for the Supreme Court for three years.
