Venkataramani, the next Attorney General of India. The President of India on 28 September appointed Venkataramani as the Modi government’s top law officer for three years. Aged 72, the senior counsel will accede to the post on 1 October, when the current incumbent, senior advocate K.K. Venugopal, retires. His appointment comes days after senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi Having spent more than four decades in the Supreme Court, Venkataramani has argued cases ranging from constitutional issues to taxation. But litigation has not stopped him from pursuing his other interests, such as teaching and writing. Venkataramani is attached to several law colleges where he takes classes, mostly during court breaks. When the top court shuts down for summer vacation, Venkataramani spends a lot of his time at these institutes teaching budding lawyers. His juniors say he rarely goes on long vacations, unlike other seniors who prefer international holidays during summer recess.

Seshan pondered over the decision for some time, trying to think whose advice he ...
