Additional Attorney General Salah Uddin Ahmed has been appointed new Attorney General.

An official in the AG office yesterday said that Salahuddin would replace Barrister Fida M Kamal who resigned on July 16 on his personal grounds.

However, sources said the resignation of Fida M Kamal came after a recent tug of war between the military-backed interim government and the highest law officer of the government over a number of issues, including promulgation of the Government Attorney Service Ordinance 2008 and various government organisations and agencies and non-appearance of Fida Kamal for hearing in various important cases.

Before joining the AG office, Salah Uddin Ahmed had also worked for Dr Kamal Hossain and Associates.
