The Delhi High Court on Tuesday made it clear that only those cabs which run on compressed natural gas (CNG) can ply on the national capital’s roads. Justice Manmohan said that since he has already passed an order against ANI Technologies, the company that owns Ola, prohibiting it from running diesel cabs, then same would apply “across the board” to other companies including Uber.
“I cannot discriminate against them (Ola). I can’t say Ola has to comply and Uber need not. You have to comply with my order on CNG. That’s all,” the judge said. He also said that his decision has been affirmed by the division bench, so it means the order applies to everyone, so he need to abide by that order.
“How can people take law in their handsIJ You will have to behave in accordance with law,” the court said, adding that “since Delhi government has come out with some scheme, why don’t you (Ola and Uber) comply with itIJ”
