Bombay high court directs Maharashtra Transport Commissioner to review autorickshaw licensing policy on plea from Pune union

The Bombay High Court has directed Maharashtra’s Transport Commissioner to review an open licensing policy for autorickshaws in Pune, prompted by a petition from Sawkash Autorickshaw Union. The March 25 directive calls for a decision in four weeks on whether to restrict the number of new permits to address the negative impact on existing rickshaw businesses.
