The Punjab government has appointed Barrister Zafarullah Khan as the new Advocate General of Punjab following the approval of the Punjab governor.
The Law and Parliamentary Affairs Department issued an official notification confirming his appointment.
Barrister Zafarullah replaced Amjad Pervaiz whose resignation as Punjab Advocate General has been accepted.
The appointment comes as the provincial government reshuffles its top legal office. Barrister Zafarullah Khan, a PML-N leader and a senior politician, had earlier served as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Law during 2016-2018.
