JAMMU:  The advocate general’s post in Jammu and Kashmir is lying vacant for more than a year following senior advocate D C Raina’s resignation, the Department of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs has said.

Responding to an application filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act by Jammu-based activist Raman Kumar Sharma, the central public information officer (CPIO) has said no proposal has so far been initiated to fill the post.

“The post of advocate general is presently lying vacant. The post is lying vacant from the date on which the last advocate general tendered his resignation,” read the RTI reply given on Monday.
