Eighteen months after his appointment as Solicitor-General of India, senior advocate Rohinton Nariman has resigned from the post amid speculation that the decision came over his differences with the Law Ministry.
Mr. Nariman was appointed as the Solicitor-General (SG) on July 23, 2011.
There has been speculation Mr. Nariman was unhappy over certain directions of Law Minister Ashwani Kumar and the ministry.
He was appointed after the then SG Gopal Subramaniam had resigned on July 14, 2011.
Mr. Subramaniam had resigned as SG in the wake of Mr. Nariman being appointed as special counsel to represent government in a 2G scam-related case in the Supreme Court, apparently without his knowledge.
Mr. Nariman is the son of eminent jurist Fali S Nariman.
