Rajasthan High Court Issues Notice On Plea Challenging Appointment Of Padmesh Mishra As AAG For State In SC

Live Law  

The Rajasthan High Court has recently issued notice to the government of Rajasthan on a petition filed by an advocate, challenging the appointment of Padmesh Mishra as Additional Advocate General for the state of Rajasthan at the Supreme Court. The facts relating to the present controversy entail that Padmesh Mishra was appointed as AAG despite not meeting the requisite experience to be eligible for the post in accordance with the State Litigation Policy 2018. While praying for an immediate stay on Padmesh Mishra officiating as the AAG and on the notification effecting the change in policy, the petitioner termed the act of the government of Rajasthan of vesting unbridled and unrestricted powers in the appropriate authority as contrary to law and manifestly arbitrary. It has been argued that the mandate of minimum ten years of practice for appointment as AAG cannot be diluted by incorporating clause 14.8 in the policy and moreover, the astounding pace with which the notifications were issued and re-issued shows that exercise was undertaken to bestow benevolence upon Padmesh Mishra and thereby his appointment is grossly illegal and per se arbitrary.
