Karnataka High Court questions gig workers law, hints at stay on bike taxi ban
The Karnataka High Court on Thursday questioned whether the State’s new law for gig workers adequately covers bike taxi services and indicated that it may consider staying the ongoing ban on such operations if rules are not framed soon.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C M Joshi was hearing appeals filed by Ola (ANI Technologies), Uber, Rapido, individual riders, and the Bike Taxi Welfare Association against a single judge’s order halting bike taxi services until the State introduced specific regulations.
