Supreme Court of India
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the High Court order by which it had essentially allowed bike-taxi aggregators Rapido and Uber to operate in the national capital by asking the Delhi government not to take any coercive action against them till a new policy was formulated.
A vacation bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Rajesh Bindal granted liberty to
the two aggregators to request urgent hearing of their plea by the Delhi HC.
The bench, which stayed the May 26 order of the High Court, also recorded the Delhi government counsel’s submission the final policy will be notified before July-end.
The top court was hearing two separate petitions by the AAP government challenging the May 26 order of the High Court asking it not to take any coercive action against the bike-taxi aggregators until the final policy was notified.
The top court had in the last week sought a response from the Central government on both the pleas of Delhi government.
