According to a press
release by the Press Information Bureau, the decision will strengthen the litigation machinery to
represent the central government as a whole and specifically in these
courts: “This will also help in conduct of litigation on behalf of Union
of India efficiently and effectively.”
“The creation of these
posts will also facilitate transaction of business in accordance with
procedures and enable assigning of functions to legally trained persons.
It will result in greater accountability of government departments to
curb frivolous litigation and lessen the burden of government cases in
these Courts,” says the press release explaining the rationale behind the creation of the new posts of ASG's.
