Relief for Uber. The Delhi High Court sets aside the Delhi government's order by which Uber's licence was scrapped. This means Uber can now ply in Delhi.


The Delhi government last month had rejected the US-based cab aggregator's fresh application for registration under the modified Radio Taxi Scheme 2006.


Similar applications from two other prominent web-app based taxi operators, Ola Cabs and Taxi4Sure, were also rejected by the Delhi Government Transport Department.


The Transport Department said the applications in question, a prerequisite for the legal operation of services by respective operators, were rejected because all three failed to declare that they were complying with the conditions of a Home Ministry-imposed ban on their services last year.


Web-app based cab operators were banned after the rape of a private executive aboard a Uber cab in late November, 2014.
