The appeal has been filed nearly 3 months after the Karnataka High Court held that a blanket prohibition on bike taxis was unconstitutional and contrary to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
The Court said that the State should not be deterred by concerns raised based on misplaced readings of Article 14 which guarantees the right to quality.
The State was directed to file a detailed affidavit clarifying the demarcation of core, buffer and tourism zones, the exact locations where safaris are being conducted and maps indicating these zones.
