Delhi High Court on Tuesday questioned how app-based taxi service, Ola, was operating in the national capital when the city government's order banning them has not been stayed and warned that it would shut the company down if it thought it was above law.
"How are you operating post January 1 order? There has been no stay. Why is the ban not being implemented," Justice Manmohan asked the counsel for ANI Technologies Pvt Ltd which operates app-based cab services under the name of Ola.
On January 1, Delhi government had banned the operation of app-based taxi services till they comply with the guidelines of Radio Taxi Scheme of 2006 which was recently amended.
The court, however, said it will pass interim orders on Wednesday when it might also put in place a temporary mechanism for running of the company, while it continues to hear the matter.
