Tushar Mehta re-named Solicitor General of India

The Appointments Committee of the Union Cabinet has approved the re-appointment of senior advocate Tushar Mehta as Solicitor General for a period of three years.
Senior advocate K.K. Venugopal has also been reappointed to the post of Attorney General for India for a period of one year.
The Attorney General of India is the first law officer of the Government of India.
Article 76 provides for the office of the Attorney General for India.
The Attorney General is appointed by the President.
The Attorney-General is assisted by two Solicitors General and four Additional Solicitors-General.
There is a point to take special note of the fact that only the office of the AG is created by the Constitution.
It means that Article 76 of the Constitution does not mention the solicitor general and additional solicitor general in an explicit manner
