Until then no coercive steps shall be taken in furtherance of the rules,&#8221; additional government pleader G W Mattos told the court.<\/p>\n<p>The court accepted this statement and said, &#8220;Uber provides services worldwide and it is fantastic. This is a serious issue considering the interest of the consumers. The state government will have to keep this in mind before taking any final decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Leaving all technicalities of rules aside, we are also concerned about the consumers and their interest. After all the consumers, who are taxpayers, will also be affected.<\/p>\n<p>Public interest also needs to be considered,&#8221; Justice Jadhav said.<\/p>\n<p>On a lighter vein, Justice Jadhav pointed out that if the black and yellow taxis provide good facilities then people would not prefer Uber and Ola.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How many taxis (black and yellow) agree to ply short distance? They (drivers) always refuse short distance. They want to ply only long distance,&#8221; Justice Jadhav said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench today also permitted the All India Radio Taxi Operators Association, which runs Meru cabs, and Tabcabs to be impleaded as respondents in the case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will hear all parties concerned. Today we accept the statement made by the state government that it would not take any coercive steps in furtherance to the rules for a period of four weeks, by when it is likely to get the report from the committee,&#8221; Justice Sawant said.<\/p>\n<p>The petitions have been posted for further hearing on August 3, by when the state government shall also file its reply affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to rules, app-based taxis will not be allowed to ply within the Mumbai metropolitan region on a national tourist permit. The drivers will have to obtain local permits and will not be allowed to ply on their national tourist permits,&#8221; the drivers said in their petitions.<\/p>\n<p>They also said that, &#8220;Obtaining local permits will cost private taxi drivers and owners ten times more than what it costs the drivers of black and yellow taxis.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Maharashtra government should keep in mind the larger &#8220;public interest&#8221; before taking any final decision on fare fixations of cabs, the Bombay High Court has said.
