In a notable development at the Supreme Court of India, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Raghavendra P Shankar has been elevated to the status of Senior Advocate. The decision was made by the full court, led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna, on November 29.
Raghavendra P Shankar, who was appointed ASG earlier in September, joins a prestigious group of lawyers following the Court’s designation of 39 lawyers as Senior Advocates back in August. This recognition is accorded to legal practitioners based on their expertise, standing at the Bar, and contributions to the field of law, marking a significant milestone in Shankar’s career.
