Saresh Lotlikar will be the new Advocate General of Goa, succeeding Atmaram Nadkarni who has been elevated to the post of Additional Solicitor General of India.
Lotlikar's appointment was cleared by the state Cabinet at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar today.
"We have approved the selection of Saresh Lotlikar as the Advocate General of the state," Parsekar said.
Nadkarni had resigned from the post of state AG in May this year following his elevation, but continued holding the charge in absence of a replacement.
The state Cabinet also cleared the recommendation proposing the name of Dattaprasad Lawande as the Additional Advocate General of Goa.
