SC Adjourns Till Jun 9 Hearing on Delhi Govt Plea Against HC Order Staying Notice to Rapido
News 18The Supreme Court on Wednesday adjourned till June 9 the hearing on the Delhi government’s plea challenging a high court order staying a notice to bike-taxi aggregator Rapido and allowing it to operate till the final policy has been notified. He said the high court’s decision to stay the government’s notice till the final policy is notified is like virtually allowing the writ petition by Rapido. On May 26, while issuing a notice to the Delhi government on Rapido’s plea challenging a law that excludes two-wheelers from being registered as transport vehicles, the high court directed that no coercive action should be taken against the bike-taxi aggregator till the final policy was notified. The high court, which listed Rapido’s plea on August 22 before the registrar for completion of pleading, said in its order, “The counsel for the petitioners submits that policy is under active consideration.” “Accordingly, we hereby stay the notice and make it clear that the stay shall operate till the final policy is notified.
