The Supreme Court has upheld the validity of the Centre's Agnipath scheme, stating that public interest overrides other considerations
The court also dismissed two petitions challenging the scheme's validity and clarified that candidates who were selected in the defence recruitment process before the scheme's introduction do not have a vested right to appointment
The bench, however, posted a third plea related to recruitment in the Indian Air Force prior to the Agnipath scheme's launch for a hearing on April 17 and asked the Centre to file a response
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the validity of the Agnipath Centra scheme, dismissing two appeals and saying the scheme was not arbitrary. Public interests prevail over other considerations, the Supreme Court said. The Supreme Court said that candidates selected in the defense recruitment process before the introduction of the Agnipath scheme are not eligible for appointment.
The Delhi High Court in February upheld the validity of the Agnipath scheme, against which two petitions were filed in the Supreme Court. In its order, the Delhi High Court said that the Agnipath scheme was formulated in the national interest and to ensure that the armed forces are better equipped.
"We apologize, we do not want to interfere with the high court verdict. The apex court has looked into all aspects," it said while dismissing separate pleas filed by Gopal Krishan and advocate ML Sharma against the high court verdict.
However, before the Agnipath program began hearing on April 17, the bench released a third fresh plea related to Indian Air Force (IAF) recruitment.
It asked the Center to file its reply to the third plea relating to recruitment in the IAF. correct and reframe as a news article
