The move came after Acharya was asked to quit as the Special Public Prosecutor in the Jayalalithaa Disproportionate Assets case.
Acharya said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government had asked him to resign as the Special Public Prosecutor citing conflict of interest.
Acharya quit after a public interest litigation (PIL) challenged his holding the position of Advocate General and Special Public Prosecutor at the same time.
The role of prosecutor was assigned to him by the Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court.
