The Supreme Court today transferred all pending Public Interest Litigations related to 'Agnipath' scheme to the Delhi High Court.
A Supreme Court hearing on 'Agnipath', the centre's new recruitment plan for armed forces, featured a witty remark by Justice DY Chandrachud that brought smiles amid intense arguments.
Responding to the arguments of advocate Mr Sharma, who has filed a public interest litigation challenging the constitutional validity of the scheme, Justice Chandrachud said in a light vein, "You may be a 'veer'. But you are not an 'Agniveer'."
Justice Chandrachud's light remark, which came after impassioned arguments by Mr Sharma, was to point out that the advocate was not an aggrieved party but had filed a public interest plea.
Mr Sharma is known to file public interest litigations frequently on a wide range of issues.
