HC stays order declaring Ola’s relation with drivers as employer-employee

The Karnataka High Court has stayed a single judge verdict, which had classified the relationship between ANI Technologies Private Limited (Ola) and its drivers as that of employer-employee.

The original ruling required Ola to address complaints of sexual harassment involving its drivers.

The interim order that stayed the original judgment was passed by a vacation bench consisting of Justice S R Krishna Kumar and Justice M G Uma, following an appeal by Ola against the earlier judgment dated September 30.
