While many of the richest lawyers in this country are at least 80 years of age, Mukul Rohatgi is only 64 years of age. This also means he still has the potential of rising up to the first position.
Mukul Rohatgi, just like K Parasaran, used to be the Attorney General of India. He served as the Attorney General of this country from June 2014 to June 2017. And Mukul Rohatgi currently lives in New Delhi.
