The Attorney General of India is appointed by
Answer: C
Correct answer: The President
The Attorney General is appointed by the President under Article 76, and must be qualified to be a judge of the Supreme Court. The office holds during the President’s pleasure, so there is no fixed term. The Attorney General is the first law officer of the Government of India, advises the government on legal matters, appears for it in the Supreme Court and in any High Court where it is concerned, and has a right of audience in all courts. The office carries an unusual parliamentary position: the Attorney General may speak in and take part in the proceedings of either House and of any parliamentary committee, but may not vote. Unlike the Advocate General of a state or a government servant, the Attorney General is not a full-time salaried officer and may take private practice, though not against the government. The Solicitor General and Additional Solicitors General assist, but only the Attorney General is a constitutional office.
