US-based cab service Uber on Tuesday withdrew its plea filed in the Delhi High Court against the ban imposed on it by the Delhi government.
Following the alleged rape of a 27-year-old woman in the national capital by a Uber driver, the transport department of the Delhi government had banned the services of app based taxis.
Justice Rajiv Shakdher allowed the company to withdraw the plea after the transport department passed its order on Uber’s plea against the ban.
In its order, the Delhi transport authority said, “there are no grounds to review the ban imposed,” on Uber along with its domestic counterpart Ola Cabs.
Uber also told court it is the only firm that is trying to comply with the court’s order, while Ola continued plying on Delhi’s roads, even after the government banned the operation of app-based cab services.
