Army Recruitment Scheme: The Supreme Court will hear the petitions filed against the Agneepath scheme today. In these petitions, there has been a demand to stop the scheme. Controversy continues in the Parliament over the Agneepath scheme to recruit for four years in the Indian Army, but in the meantime, the matter will also be heard in the Supreme Court today. Three petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court against the Agneepath scheme, demanding a stay on this scheme for the time being. The petitioners have also demanded that the scheme should not be implemented on those who are in the process of getting army jobs.
Center filed caveat
In this case, the Central Government has also filed a caveat, in which it has been appealed that no order should be given without hearing its side. The matter has come up for hearing in the Supreme Court before a 3-member bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, Surya Kant and AS Bopanna. However, the recruitment process in the armies has been started under the Agneepath scheme. The petitioners of the three petitions that are up for hearing in the Supreme Court are Harsh Ajay Singh, Manohar Lal Sharma and Ravindra Singh Shekhawat.
Manohar Lal Sharma has demanded the cancellation of the scheme, saying it was implemented wrongly and against the interest of the country. At the same time, Harsh Ajay Singh has demanded that the court should order the government to review the plan again. Singh has also demanded that the court should put a stay on the scheme for the time being.
Three-member bench will hear
In view of these petitions being filed one after the other in the Supreme Court, the Central Government has also filed a caveat. After a caveat is filed on behalf of a party, no order in the matter is passed without hearing that party. In such a situation, now the Center will not have the apprehension that the Supreme Court will give a unilateral order to stop the Agneepath scheme. The matter has come up for hearing in the Supreme Court before a 3-member bench of Justices DY Chandrachud, Surya Kant and AS Bopanna.
