Senior Lawyer K K Venugopal may get a fresh term as Attorney General for India, sources in the Govt said on Tuesday.
A final decision would be taken in a day or two.
Venugopal's current 1-year tem ends on June 30.
The attorney general usually has a tenure of 3 years. When Venugopal's first term as AG was to end in 2020, he had requested the Govt to give him a 1-year tenure keeping in mind his advanced age. He is 91.
Last year too, Venugopal was reappointed for 1 year.
In view of the high-profile cases Venugopal is handling in the Apex Court & his experience at the Bar, the Govt may reappoint him again.
There was no word yet on the period for which he could be reappointed to the constitutional post.
The law ministry has informed the government that his term ends on June 30 & the post needs to be filled.
He first took over as the attorney general, the top law officer of the Union Govt, on July 1, 2017, succeeding Mukul Rohatgi.
