Who was re-appointed as the Solicitor General of India for a term of three years starting from 1 July 2023?
Suryaprakash V Raju
Tushar Mehta
Chetan Sharma

Tushar Mehta
Tushar Mehta was re-appointed as the Solicitor General of India for a three-year term effective from July 1, 2023.
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) approved the re-appointment of Tushar Mehta to the post of Solicitor General of India following the conclusion of his previous term. The Solicitor General serves as the second-highest law officer of the country after the Attorney General for India. This role is crucial for representing the Government of India in the Supreme Court and high courts across various legal matters. His extension ensures legal continuity in the government's representation during significant ongoing litigations.
The Solicitor General is appointed under the Law Officers (Conditions of Service) Rules, 1987. Unlike the Attorney General for India, who is a constitutional post under Article 76, the office of the Solicitor General is a statutory post that assists the Attorney General in the discharge of their duties.
Appointment date: Re-appointed effective July 1, 2023
Term length: Three-year duration
Predecessor/Incumbent: Tushar Mehta has held this position since 2018
Authority: Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC)
B is correct тАФ Tushar Mehta was re-appointed as the Solicitor General of India for a term of three years starting from July 1, 2023.
Remember that while the Attorney General is a constitutional office (Article 76), the Solicitor General and Additional Solicitors General are statutory posts established by executive rules to assist the AG.
