The Advocate General of a State is appointed by the *Governor* of the concerned State, as per Article 165 of the Constitution of India.

However, they do not have general advisory jurisdiction; advisory jurisdiction is primarily vested with the Supreme Court (Article 143). While the Code of Civil Procedure deals with aspects of civil jurisdiction and procedure, it does not confer advisory jurisdiction upon High Courts. Therefore, the statement that High Courts have &#8220;advisory jurisdiction at the State level&#8221; as provided in the Code of Civil Procedure is incorrect.<br \/>\nSince both statements are incorrect, neither 1 nor 2 is correct.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider the following statements : The Advocate General of a State in India is appointed by the President of India upon the recommendations of the Governor of the concerned State.
