The Bombay High Court today dismissed a petition filed by Mumbai-Pune Taxi Owners' Association challenging a rule of the Regional Transport Office which lays it down that taxis plying on Mumbai-Pune route must have 1,500 cc engine.


Division bench headed by Justice S F Vajifdar, while dismissing the petition, said it would give a reasoned order later.u00a0

The association had contended that the rule would force several taxi-owners to buy bigger cars which come with price tag of Rs eight lakh and above, dumping their existing taxis.

The rule came into force last year.u00a0
