•Solicitor General Tushar Mehta challenged the acquittal of AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, in the Delhi liquor scam case.
•His strong arguments in the High Court led Justice Swarnakanta Sharma's bench to seek a response from AAP leaders on CBI's petition, tightening their legal position.

•Known for his aggressive yet logical approach, he has represented the government in landmark cases like Article 370, Ram Janmabhoomi, PMLA, and same-sex marriage.
