Senior Supreme Court lawyers Harish Salve's heavy professional commitment will be taken into consideration before finalising the decision, people familiar with the discussions about picking the Attorney General told The Economic Times.
"I have also read news stories that suggest that I am a front-runner (for the A-G's post). I am sure it has some basis," Salve told ET.
He also said due process demands that there should be a law minister first who can make the offer.
Salve had served as the Solicitor General of India from November 1, 1999, to November 3, 2002. He succeeded Santosh Hegde, after the latter was appointed as a judge to the Supreme Court.

Mukul Rohatgi, the other choice for the A-G's post, said he had not been approached yet. However, he is one of the busiest lawyers in the Supreme Court and need not chase anything.
Rohatgi, considered to be close to Jaitley, has been counsel in many significant cases that involved BJP interests.
