The counterpart to the Attorney General at the state level (Article 165). Appointed by the Governor, the Advocate General advises the government on legal affairs and appears in the High Court or subordinate courts for state interests. They must be eligible to serve as a High Court judge. Like the AG, they enjoy the right to speak in the state legislature but cannot vote.
