NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Friday said they cannot bar Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi from appearing for bar owners in the case against the state government’s liquor policy.
A division bench of Justices Vikramjith Sena and Sivakeerthi Singh said he was not appointed by the court. The advocate of congress MLA T M Prathapan demanded to bar him from appearing for the bar owners.
The AG is centre’s legal expert. The centre appoints legal experts like him and so they can only bar him. If the appearance is violation of rules, then steps should be taken by the centre, the court said.
Meantime, the Kerala government who opposed AG appearing for the bar owners earlier not opposing it today was noticed.
