The division bench of Delhi High Court that comprised Justices Rajiv Sahai Endlaw and A. K. Sikri rejected the petitions of auto-rickshaw owners and green signalled the installation of GPS systems in auto-rickshaws in Delhi on 17 September 2012. He also ordered the installation of printers in the auto-rickshaws to provide the print-outs of fares to the passengers traveling from one position to other within the capital.
To justify the recovery of the investment made on the installation of the ordered equipment the bench said that the auto operators can levy 50 paise per kilometer on the passengers, as allowed by the Government.
Installation of Global Positioning System will help in tracking the position and movement of the auto-rickshaws. The GPS will also ensure that the auto-rickshaw operators are not overcharging the passenger via any wrong means, like by taking long routes to reach a particular location. Installation of the GPS system will also ensure the security of the passengers to the next level.
