Imphal, May 06 2017:
An RTI has been filed in the
Cabinet Secretariat seeking the
name and information of the
person to be appointed as the
new Advocate General of
Manipur.
Sources said the RTI
sought details of the proposed
Advocate General of
the State, if any, as it is not
clear whether the State Government
has filled up the post
of Advocate General, which
was lying vacant after the
formation of the BJP-led coalition
Government in the
State.
Mention may be made that
High Court Bar Association
Manipur, and All Manipur
Bar Association had staged
protests against the proposed
appointment of a non-local as
the Advocate General of the
State.
The State Government has
not yet issued any official notification
of the appointment
of the Constitutional post.
