Karnataka HC stays order against Ola to pay compensation to customer’s sexual harassment complaint

BENGALURU: The division bench of Karnataka High Court on Friday stayed the order passed by a single judge, who held that the relationship between ANI Technologies Private Limited (Ola) and its drivers is that of employee-employer, and hence Ola has to take action against drivers when receiving complaints of sexual harassment against them.

A vacation division bench of Justice S R Krishna Kumar and Justice M G Uma passed the interim order after hearing the writ appeal filed by the Ola against the order passed by a single judge on September 30.
