Bombay HC Restrains Auto Unions from Disrupting Uber Services
Uber, a ride-sharing service, was worried that a protest by auto unions in Pune would stop their cars from working.
They went to court, and the judge agreed to help.
The judge ordered the unions not to block or damage Uber cars or bother their drivers and riders.
The police were told to keep Uber cars safe from any trouble during the protest.
This means Uber can continue operating without interference from the unions during their demonstration.
Bombay High Court restrained auto unions from disrupting Uber services during a protest.
The protest was planned by the Baghtoy Rikshaw-wala Union and others in Pune.
Uber feared its operations would be disrupted in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
The court issued an ex-parte order, in the absence of the unions.
Police were directed to protect Uber vehicles from obstruction and damage.
