Maharashtra cab drivers move Bombay HC over Marathi rule
- Four app-based cab drivers have moved the Bombay High Court on August 25, challenging Maharashtra’s mandatory Marathi rule.
- The August 12 notification requires passenger vehicle drivers to have a working knowledge of Marathi to communicate with commuters.
- The petition seeks an immediate stay, saying the rule could affect nearly 9.65 lakh drivers across Maharashtra.
- The drivers argue the rule violates fundamental rights and that the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 has no such language condition.
