The Delhi High Court on 27 February 2023 dismissed petitions challenging the Narendra Modi government's Agnipath scheme for military recruitment.
The court reportedly said that the scheme for Agniveer recruitment was introduced in national interest, and to ensure that the armed forces are better equipped.
A two-judge bench said that it found no reason to interfere with the scheme.
The Agnipath recruitment system was unveiled in June 2022, to recruit those aged between 17-and-a-half and 23 years, for an initial tenure of 4 years.
