Delhi High Court refuses to entertain PIL to form Gujjar regiment in Armed Forces

On May 28, 2025, the Delhi High Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that called for the creation of a Gujjar regiment in the Indian Army. The court deemed the petition as 'divisive' and warned the petitioner that filing such requests could result in cost penalties. The High Court emphasized the importance of unity and non-discrimination in the military, rejecting the idea of forming army regiments based on specific communities. This decision reinforces the Indian judiciary's stance against actions that could potentially fragment national unity or foster division within the armed forces and society at large.
