"Experts have formed the Agnipath scheme and we are not the experts," the Delhi HC remarks while hearing arguments in a batch of petitions challenging the Agnipath scheme for entry into the defence forces.
#DelhiHighCourt #Agnipath #Agniveer Image
In response to petitioner's arguments highlighting various entry schemes around the world, a bench of CJ Satish Chandra Sharma and J Subramonium Prasad remarked that the court is not here to say which scheme is better or comment on military strategy.
The petitioners argued that the scheme is detrimental to national security and the Agniveers joining the defence forces will lack the bonding that is necessary in an unit.
