New Delhi, May 25: Attorney General Soli J Sorabjee
submitted his resignation from the constitutional post to
President A P J Abdul Kalam on the first day of the new
government assuming charge.
Sorabjee's resignation letter was sent yesterday to the
president and copies were sent to Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh and Law Minister Hans Raj Bharadwaj.
Expected to take up few briefs in the Supreme Court after
his resignation, Sorabjee is preparing to write a book on
administrative law.
As far back as March this year, Sorabjee had made it
clear to the then Law Minister Arun Jaitley that he would not
continue to be the attorney general even if NDA staged a
comeback at the Centre.
It is convention that the attorney general submits his
resignation after the exit of the government that had
appointed him.
