Ranjit Kumar is a senior advocate practising in Supreme Court of India and the former Solicitor General of India.[1] He was appointed in 2014 by the incumbent government of Narendra Modi, succeeding Mohan Parasaran.[2] The notification for his appointment as Solicitor General of India was issued by the Law Ministry on 7 June 2014.[3] Ranjit Kumar resigned from his post on 20 October 2017 citing a personal family-related reason.

In 2012, Kumar and two other senior advocates were threatened with expulsion from the Supreme Court Bar Association.[4]
