CAB AGGREGATOR CANNOT OPERATE WITHOUT LICENSE: THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA IN THE CASE OF UBER INDIA The Supreme Court recently made it mandatory for a cab aggregator to have a license to operate. The Supreme Court ruled that a cab aggregator cannot work in absence of a license and, therefore, directed Uber to apply for a license to ply in the State of Maharashtra by March 6, 2023. The Apex Court was hearing a special leave petition (SLP) in which Uber had argued that the conditions imposed by the guidelines of the Central government were not practicable and challenged a Bombay High Court order directing it to apply for an aggregator license in the State of Maharashtra in compliance with the Motor Vehicles Aggregator (MVA) Guidelines of 2020 issued by the Central government. Since the state’s guidelines were under consideration, the High court ordered that the guidelines issued by the central government would subsist.
