Delhi High Court today refused interim relief to app-based cab service Ola and admonished it for not complying with the ban imposed on it by the state government. The court directed strict enforcement of the order which has been violated with impunity. Justice Manmohan directed Delhi government and traffic police to "strictly enforce" their order of January 1, 2015, by which the operation of app-based cab services was banned till they complied with the guidelines of Radio Taxi Scheme of 2006 which was amended on December 26 last year.<br/><br/>The court passed the interim order while issuing notices to the Centre, traffic police and Delhi government seeking their response to Ola's plea for lifting of the ban. The court said the matter has to be heard extensively and listed the matter for further hearing on October 5. Ola uses taxis having All India Tourist Permit, AITP for providing services in the national capital. The court also sought an affidavit from Ola that it will explicitly comply with orders of the court.
