During the arguments, the Centre told the high court that a decision was taken in June 2021 to put on hold all other recruitment in the armed forces and not to cancel them as the Agnipath scheme was only on the horizon and not finalised by then.
The Delhi High Court today reserved its judgement on a batch of petitions challenging the Centre's Agnipath scheme for recruitment in the armed forces.
Besides the pleas directly challenging Agnipath, the high court also reserved its verdict on petitions concerning the recruitment announced under certain previous advertisements but stalled before the launch of the short-term service scheme.
During the arguments, the Centre told the high court that a decision was taken in June 2021 to put on hold all other recruitment in the armed forces and not to cancel them as the Agnipath scheme was only on the horizon and not finalised by then.
The Agnipath scheme got finalised only in June this year when it was notified in the official gazette, the Centre's counsel said.
