Sr Adv Arvind Datar: if it is struck down then all these 3 year appointments has to go and it has to be five years. It has to be seen if the validity will be heard first. Today selection by Justice Khanwilkar led committee is over. But none appointed. Now new committee
Datar: Bar is clueless what is going to happen. it is not correct that SC headed committee selects 19 members and 6 only are appointed and rest from the waitlist. Can this be done?

"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
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.
