Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court has upheld the constitutional validity of the government's military recruitment scheme Agnipath, dismissing a batch of petitions challenging it. The scheme was introduced by the government in the national interest to ensure that the armed forces are better equipped. The court stated that it does not find any reason to interfere with the scheme, which proposes to induct the youth temporarily into the defense forces for a span of four years, and they will be known as Agniveers.
