AN Indian court today (11), has issued a notice to the central bank and Google India following a public interest litigation (PIL).

The court asked the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) how Google's mobile payment application, GPay, was facilitating financial transactions in the country without necessary authorisation from the bank.         

The Delhi High Court issued the notice to Google and RBI seeking their stand on the petition filed by Abhijit Mishra, who claimed that GPay is not listed in the central bank’s list of authorised "payment systems operators". 

The petitioner said the Google application was acting as a payments facilitator in violation of the Payments and Settlements Act as it has no valid authorisation from the RBI.

What made Michael O’Leary reverse course on the Ryanair ‘rapist’ row?

  • O’Leary apologised “sincerely and unreservedly” after more than a week of criticism.
  • He had previously said there was no need to apologise and rejected an offer of training from the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.
  • The centre welcomed his change of position and said it could help highlight the impact of language on survivors.

Michael O’Leary is not exactly known for backing down. The Ryanair chief executive has built much of his public image around provocative comments, sharp attacks on competitors and a willingness to keep going when controversy follows. But his latest reversal is unusual even by his standards.

O’Leary has now apologised 'sincerely and unreservedly' for describing rival airlines as 'high-fare rapists', saying he had come to realise that his choice of words had caused 'considerable upset and offence', particularly among survivors of sexual violence and rape.
