thanks for your kind wishes and I wish the same to you and your family.
as far as PP is concerned, every state has its own procedure, even though there have been permanent posts of PP but the states prefer to make appointments on temporary basis/ contract basis....and these things are largely governed by political considerations.
the Advocate General's office at High Court level is entirely under political influence.
