Which state has approached the Supreme Court challenging the High Court ruling allowing motorcycles to operate as bike taxis?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Karnataka has approached the Supreme Court challenging a Karnataka High Court ruling concerning the registration of motorcycles as transport vehicles and their operation as bike taxis. The state has raised concerns about passenger safety, insurance coverage, traffic congestion, pollution and the absence of a specific regulatory framework for bike-taxi services. Karnataka has also argued that the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 does not expressly provide for motorcycles to be used as taxis. The Supreme Court’s decision could have wider implications for bike-taxi operators, mobility companies, insurance providers and state transport authorities across India.
