Bombay HC disposes of PIL after Maharashtra gives drivers one year to learn Marathi

Additional government pleader Jyoti Chavan informed the court that the Transport Minister had confirmed the one-year period

The Bombay High Court disposed of a petition challenging Maharashtra's Marathi language rule for drivers. This action followed the state government's decision to extend the deadline for learning the language by one year. The petition had argued that the rule violated fundamental rights of cab and auto-rickshaw drivers.
