The Karnataka High Court, on June 13, 2025, declined to stay the single-judge’s order that mandates a complete halt to bike taxi operations, including those by Ola, Uber, and Rapido, in the absence of state-specific regulatory rules under the Motor Vehicles Act. A division bench led by Acting C.J. V. Kameshwar Rao and Justice Sreenivas Harish Kumar refused to extend the interim relief requested by these aggregators, noting that Karnataka has made a policy decision not to frame such rules and thus cannot be held liable for any delay. The court also issued notices to the state government and the companies, scheduling the next hearing for June 24, and emphasized no further adjournments would be granted
