Metropolitan Magistrate Abhilash Malhotra said he would pronounce on July 29, the order on the complaint by an NGO seeking summoning of the firms as accused.
"Arguments on the point of summoning heard. Put up for order on July 29," the magistrate said.
The court had earlier treated "dismissed as withdrawn" an application filed by the same NGO seeking lodging of FIR against three app-based cab service providers, Ola, Uber and 'Taxi for Sure', holding that the offences alleged in the plea under the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act were "non-cognisable".
The court has concluded recording pre-summoning evidence advanced by the complainant NGO, through its secretary Rakesh Agarwal, in support of the complaint.
