The Delhi High Court has given relief to the cab aggregator companies by ordering a stay on the notice from the Delhi Transport Department.

The government had said that the companies were not following the rules. Cab aggregator companies filed a petition in the High Court against this decision.
After hearing the case, the court has directed the Transport Department of Delhi to first frame a policy for cab companies. Until he makes a policy, he should not take any step against these companies.
In fact, in February 2023, the Delhi government had banned the companies providing bike taxi service in the state. The Delhi Transport Department had said that the bikes with private registration numbers were being used for the bike service of Ola-Uber.
