    Senior Advocate Amar Preet Singh Deol has been appointed as the new Advocate General of Punjab. A notification in this regard was issued today and which reads thus:

    "The Governor of Punjab in exercise of the powers conferred under Article 165 of the Constitution of India, is pleased to appoint Shri Amar Preet Singh Deol, Senior Advocate, Punjab and Haryana High Court...as Advocate General for the state of Punjab with effect from the date he assumes charges of his office."

    This comes days after Senior Advocate Atul Nanda resigned from the post of AG on September 18 citing constitutional convention and highlighting that his appointment was co-terminus with the chief minister's appointment.

    Deol was recently in news when he appeared as counsel for former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini, in a 29-year-old kidnapping case.
    Dropping a mail to his team, Atul Nanda had informed about his resignation on September 18 as he thanked all his colleagues and junior lawyers who toiled long late hours, weekends and holidays, often at personal cost for case preparation and so that our office could shine in Court.
