NEW DELHI, July 5: A fresh plea has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the Centre's 'Agnipath' scheme for recruitment in the armed forces. The petition filed by ex-servicemen Ravindra Singh Shekhawat has sought quashing of notification issued by the Ministry of Defence, contending it as illegal, unconstitutional, and ultra vires to the rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
"The recently launched scheme has received skepticism nationwide from the armed forces aspirants and has left several questions unanswered. Some of the concerns are related to the aspirants who were in the middle/final stages of their recruitment process.
"This abrupt change in the recruitment process has evoked several unforeseeable circumstances for the aspirants and has put their futures at stake/in the dark. The scheme fails to accommodate the individuals who have been preparing for the armed forces for the last many years and have not been able to participate in the recruitment process due to lack of vacancies due to Covid-19," the plea said. The petition contended that this scheme jeopardizes the future of aspirants who have already successfully gone through the rigorous selection process of the armed forces once, compelling these individuals to initiate a fresh start for the selection process under the Agnipath Scheme.
