The central and state governments and their agencies are today the biggest litigants causing maximum litigation in various courts and tribunals of India including the Supreme Court. Various state governments are represented in the Supreme Court by their own Advocate-on-Record and such persons are known as the standing Advocates of a particular state. States like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, Kerala, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir , etc. have their own Advocates-on –record of their choice in the Supreme Court. The Central Government, other states and government organisations have a department under the Ministry of law, particularly known as the Central Agency in the Supreme Court where several qualified advocates are fully employed and associated to initiate, prosecute, or defend proceedings for and against the Central Government and its agencies and states.
