On February 27, the Delhi High Court dismissed the appeals opposing the Agnipath programme of the Central Government. The court declared that it sees no justification for becoming involved in the plan. 

The court ruled that "all applications against Agnipath Scheme are rejected." 

The decision was made by a division bench consisting of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad. On December 15 of the previous year, the choice was postponed. 

The Plan was created, according to the court, in the interest of the nation and to ensure that the armed services have superior equipment. 

The court stated that the petitioners do not have a vested right to seek employment while also dismissing the requests resumption and enrolling as per earlier recruitment schemes in the defence services.

Five of the 23 petitions in total have criticised the Agnipath scheme. The remaining 18 petitions, which demanded appointment in accordance with the prior recruitment plan, were similarly denied. 

The High Court already had writ cases that challenged the Agnipath recruiting scheme that the apex court had previously moved there. 

The Centre had argued in court that the defence of Indian territory needed nimble, young, and technologically advanced armed forces. 

The government also asserted that the program's goal was to create a young combat force that was both physically and intellectually prepared for the upcoming difficulties.

The Center stated that a model consisting of a well-experienced permanent cadre with specialised operational and technical skills "supported by a youthful and a well-equipped support cadre comprising dynamic rank and file" was envisaged based on in-depth discussions over an extended period of time with all stakeholders. 

Regarding the Agniveer recruits' four-year service commitment, the Center said that the length of training had been optimised to match organisational needs. 

It was proposed that all armed forces recruiting take place only through the Agnipath Program, which uses modern technology, procedures, and systems to choose the most capable youth for a four-year period.

It was also said that careful consideration and research went into the policy before deciding to launch the scheme. The Ministry of Talent Development and Entrepreneurship is reportedly working on an Agniveers skill map.
