HC issues notice to Delhi govt on plea challenging law against registering 2-wheelers as 'transport vehicles'

New Delhi, May 26 (PTI) The Delhi High Court sought the stand of the city government on Friday on a plea moved by Rapido, challenging a law that excludes two-wheelers from being registered as "transport vehicles", and directed that no coercive action be taken against the bike-taxi aggregator in this regard for the time being.

The matter was heard by a bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Neena Bansal Krishna.

The court ordered that no coercive steps shall be taken by the authorities here against Rapido bike-taxi and its riders until the requisite regulation to regulate the operation of bike-taxis is notified, said Rapido's lawyer Abhishek Awasthi, senior partner at the AZB and Partners law firm.
