As senior advocate Birendra Saraf steps down from the job, Sathe will now take over as the top most lawyer for the Maharashtra government.
Senior advocate Dr Milind Sathe will be the new Advocate General for the State of Maharashtra, starting from tomorrow.
The decision to approve Sathe's name was taken by the Maharashtra government in its cabinet meeting held in Nagpur. Sathe will now officially represent the state's view in all court proceedings.
The move comes after the present advocate general Dr Birendra Saraf resigned in September 2025 after a little over three years in the job, citing personal reasons.
However, the government had requested Saraf to stay as AG until further arrangements are made.
Sathe joined the Bar in 1982 and after over 23 years, he was designated as a senior lawyer by the Bombay High Court in 2005.
He appeared in several public interest litigations, legal aid cases and as amicus curie.
He was also the top counsel for State of Maharashtra, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and several other Corporations and Public Sector Units.
He was also president of the Bombay Bar Association for seven years between 2014 to 2021
