ISLAMABAD: Barrister Shehzad Elahi on Friday resigned as Attorney General of Pakistan just less than two months after taking charge of the office.
As per details, Elahi has resigned from office due to personal reasons.
On February 2, the Ministry of Law and Justice announced that Barrister Shehzad Ata Elahi was picked as AGP.
Elahi, who is the grandson of the previous president Fazal Ilahi Chaudhry, has a solid reputation for his diligence, moral character, and legal acumen.

He also practices corporate law and has a wealth of knowledge in commercial, tax, and banking law as well as civil, commercial, corporate, and constitutional litigation, among other areas.
Elahi filled the shoes of AGP after Mansoor Usman Awan recused himself from taking charge as the government’s top lawyer.
The AGP office had been vacant since last October when Ashtar Ausaf Ali resigned, citing health reasons.
