Advocate General Dr Birendra Saraf appearing for the government informed the Court on January 10, that bike taxi aggregators are not allowed to ply in the State as there is no policy or guidelines regulating the same.
The Court, however, refused accept the stand that bike taxis cannot ply till a policy is framed by the State.
While Saraf agreed to this, he said that pending this decision, Rapido ought to be stopped from plying their bike taxis.
The Court also agreed and reiterated that the policy will have to be equal for all aggregators to the extent that either permission to ply will be given to all aggregators or to none at all.
