Rohinton Nariman Quits

Once again Solicitor General of India has quit.

Rohinton Fali Nariman has resigned as the Solicitior General of India. The reasons are not yet clear but it is mentioned in newspapers that his differences with Union Law Minister Ashwani Kumar has led to his exit. Rohinton Nariman had replaced Gopal Subramaniam in July 2011 as Solicitor General of India.

Gopal Subramaniam had also quit due to differences with Indian Government. He quit in protest to Indian Government's decision to hire a private lawyer to represent Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal in court.

I came across amusing fact on both the Solicitor Generals. While Gopal Subramaniam was Solicitor General he represented Indian government in Novartis Case and Rohinton Nariman represented Novartis. When Gopal Subramaniam quit, he agreed to represent Novartis while Rohinton Nariman represented Indian Government (since he was appointed Solicition General of India).
