Earlier, there were reports that Rameeza Hakeem had resigned from the post after three years citing “personal reasons”.
Reports said that in a message to her colleagues on Sunday, she said: “Being a part of TAG (Team Advocate General) and working with all of you, under the stellar leadership of the AG Punjab, for the last three years has been and always will be one of the most cherished chapters of my professional life. It enabled me to participate in complex litigation, research new areas of jurisprudence and of course interact with all of you. However, given present circumstances and for personal reasons, I find myself unable to continue to be of service to the government of Punjab. I have hence tendered my resignation as Additional Advocate-General with a wish to return to private practice.”Sine I may not be able to meet with all of you.
With the rejection of the resignation by the Chief Minister himself, the matter seems to be closed and Rameeza is likely to continue as Additional Advocate General, Punjab.
