In a huge setback to app-based cab service provider Ola, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday upheld the Delhi government’s ban on its taxi services in the national capital.
The HC, dismissing the plea of ANI Technologies, which provides app-based taxi services under the Ola brand, upheld its July 29 directions that asked the Delhi government’s transport department to “strictly enforce” its January 1 directive by which the operation of app-based taxi services was banned in the national capital.
Refusing to interfere with the July 29 order, the judges said that the SC in its March 26 , 2001 order has reiterated that no commercial vehicles shall ply in Delhi unless converted to single-fuel mode of CNG with effect from April 1, 2001.
