New Delhi: Additional Solicitor General Harin Raval may be asked to quit following his outburst against Attorney General GE Vahanvati in the coal scam case, according to sources. This comes as the two top law officers of the government are engaged in an open war in the case.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called a meeting late on Monday night of Solicitor General Mohan Parasaran and Law Minister Ashwani Kumar to discuss the fallout of the letter written by Additional Solicitor General and CBI counsel in the case Harin Raval, to Attorney General GE Vahanvati. In that letter, he accuses the Attorney General of interfering in the CBI's case.
As a fallout, sources say neither Vahanvati nor Raval may be present in the Supreme Court on Tuesday for that crucial hearing. The government is likely to be represented by Solicitor General Mohan Parasaran and Additional Solicitor General Paras Kuhad and the CBI will be represented by UU Lalit.
