New Delhi:

The centre has filed a caveat in the Supreme Court, urging that the court must hear its side before taking any decision on the petitions challenging the ‘Agnipath’ military recruitment scheme.

So far, three petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court challenging ‘Agnipath’ – the centre’s short-term recruitment plan in the armed forces. The caveat, however, does not mention any plea in particular.

Advocate Harsh Ajay Singh on Monday filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking issuance of directions to the centre to reconsider its “Agnipath” recruitment scheme.
