Chauhan replaces Mahajan as Haryana Advocate General

The Nayab Singh Saini Government today appointed Pravindra Singh Chauhan, currently working as Senior Additional Advocate General with the Haryana Government, as Advocate General(AG).

An order appointing Chauhan as the AG was issued by Sumita Misra, Additional Chief Secretary, Administration of Justice Department.

With the appointment of Chauhan as the AG, the over 10-year tenure of Baldev Raj Mahajan as AG has ended. Mahajan was appointed as the AG on November 10, 2014, after Manohar Lal Khattar became the Chief Minister following the BJP securing an absolute majority in the October 2014 Assembly poll.

Subsequently, in October 2019, when Khattar became the CM for the second time, Mahajan continued as the AG and in March 2024, when Nayab Singh Saini became the CM for the first time, Mahajan was retained as the AG. Mahajan continued on the post even after Saini was sworn in as the CM second time on October 17.
