AGI is a constitutional post (A. 76(1)) in India. He is appointed by the President recommended by the Union government.Attorney General in simple term is a lawyer to Indian Government. His job is to defend the Govt of India in Indian court rooms. There are hundreds of cases, PILs and class action suits filed against the government every month in several courts of India, the most important cases being filed in the Supreme court.For example, Recently a case was filed in SC regarding ‘breach of privacy’ by UIDAI through Aadhaar enrollment. In such situation the AGI appears in the SC to defend the Govt of India. In the court room he explains the SC judges about how necessary Aadhaar is and how the govt is making sure that the sensitive data will be protected in today’s uncertain digital world. In this way, He, in his maximum capacity tries to bring the outcome of the judgement in governments favour which resonates with its policies.We must note that, anything AGI says in a court room is equivalent to the Govt of India speaking to the Supreme court. So every word he says must reflect the ideology and thoughts of the Govt and the SC will make note of all those arguments to finalize the judgement which will have far reaching impact on Indian citizens. He also has a privilege to participate in the parliamentary session and speak (without a right to vote). So he plays quite an important role in running the countryThe AGI also advises govt on legalities of policies and its implications. AGI is assisted by Solicitor General of India (SGI) and Additional SGIs.The current AGI is K K Venugopal.Image src:KK Venugopal likely to be the next Attorney General of India

Backgrounder :- The answer is in respect to Indian governance system, where the aforementioned bodies find special mention.----Point to note - their are only two broad categories of bodies - Constitutional and extra constitutional (non constitutional used interchangeably). a body will be classified as constitutional or extra constitutional from the source by which it derives its AUTHORITY/POWERS.Constitutional bodies derive their authority from the constitution, other extra constitutional bodies derive their authority by a law created by the parliament, an ordinance promulgated by the president or an executive order.The extra constitutional bodies can be seen as a super set which houses statutory bodies, executive bodies etc. When any reference is made to non constitutional body it should be seen in regard to extra constitutional body.1. Constitutional body :- They are those bodies which find considerable mention in the constitution, in ways like having a part of the constitution or an article explaining their position.example - Part XV of Indian constitution houses Elections, under which Article 324 has Election Commission - where its composition, Powers, independence is talked about.In the same way other constitutional bodies and their respective articles are - Finance Commission - Art 280- Public service commission - Part XIV chapter 2 Art 315 - 323- National commission for SC/ST - Art 338/Art 338-A- C&AG - Art 148- Attorney General of India - Art 76- Advocate general of State - Art 1652. Extra Constitutional Body :- they are those bodies which do not find mention in the constitution. They are created by various methods which further explain their nomenclature.2.A. Statutory Body:- they are those bodies which are created by a law passed by the parliament which explicitly mentions the objectives for creation, their composition, Powers. Such bodies are subject to change by a respective change in the law governing themexample - the information commission derives its power from the right to information act - which provides for a body having power of civil court to redress issues relating to RTI.other examples are - National Human Rights Commission(formed to conform to United nations charter on Human rights), Central vigilance commission2.B. Executive bodies :- they are those bodies which are created by an executive order - i.e. order of a ministry of union or state. Such bodies have no constitutional or law backing them. One very infamous body was Planning commission (now replaced by NITI aayog).Other such bodies are UIDAI (Aadhar card), which when faced controversy is undergoing shift to statutory body.- This is a very simple classification, understandable for the commons, including ME ...comments are welcome.Thanks for the A2A-- thanks to deepanshu Kataria for helping with the error. CBI is not a statutory body.
