Firm behind Rapido accuses police of blocking access to app on Google Play and the App Store.
A Telangana-based private company has approached the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the Transport Commissioner in Tamil Nadu to consider a representation made by it on January 9, seeking permission for its smartphone-based mobile application Rapido, which encourages the practice of bike-sharing across the country.
Roppen Transportation Services Private Limited of Hyderabad has also urged the court to quash letters written by the Commissioner of Police, Greater Chennai, against it to Google LLC, Apple India Private Limited and the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), that serves as the Centre’s nodal agency for cyber security-related incidents.
The company claimed that the letters had led to the removal of its mobile app from app stores, thereby affecting close to 3.4 lakh users of the application in Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and other States. It contended that the police had no authority to take such unilateral action and treat the company as it if was committing some offence.
