The Karnataka High Court questioned on Wednesday the state's prohibition on bike taxis, saying that the government's argument against the service was without merit. Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru said the assertion that bike taxis are illegal under the Motor Vehicles Act was "thin", noting that the business is permitted in 13 other states, according to a release by Adi Narayan, president of the Bike Taxi Welfare Association.
