Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar resigns

New Delhi, Oct 20 (IBNS) : Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar resigned from his post Friday citing ‘personal reasons’, media reports said.

“I have resigned due to personal reasons. I am not being able to give time to my family,” Kumar told CNN-News18.

Kumar's resignation comes months after Mukul Rohatgi resigned as the Attorney General of India.

Then a Senior Supreme Court advocate, Kumar was appointed the Solicitor General (SG) of India in June 2014. He replaced senior advocate Mohan Parasaran, who had tendered his resignation after the BJP-led NDA government took charge.

Kumar had earlier served as counsel for the Gujarat government as well as amicus curiae in several cases in the Supreme Court before taking over as Solicitor General. Among the cases in which he represented the Gujarat government was the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.
