Aditya Sondhi

Aditya Sondhi, who was designated as senior counsel in July 2014, has been appointed additional advocate general of Karnataka, according to two authoritative sources, effective yesterday (31 March).

He confirmed the appointment to Bar & Bench today, saying: “It’s an honour and a challenge.”

Sondhi was one of the first senior counsel to have graduated from NLSIU Bangalore.

NLSIU Bangalore produced a total five senior advocates this year with three now in the Karnataka high court, who were designated next to one non-NLSIU alum.
