'Sometimes Social Activists Are Pushed By Business Interests": Supreme Court Rejects PIL Seeking Regulation Of Cab Aggregators

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a Public Interest Litigation seeking for the Union of India and State Governments to establish rules for app-based cab services. As per the PIL, till date the State Governments have not succeeded in formulating regulations for aggregators in alignment with the amended Section 93 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The petitioner contended that the amendment to Section 93 of the Motor Vehicles Act included aggregators' business and called for regulatory measures to protect passengers and drivers from the undue influence of aggregators. The framing of rules being a delegated legislation under the Motor Vehicles Act, the central government has already issued Rules and Regulations in November 2020 immediately after the notification issued for the modification of Section 93 of the Motor Vehicles Act but the majority of states have failed to frame the rules as applicable thereby leading to a chaotic situation and lawlessness," stated the PIL.
