A judge told a taxi driver he could not be considered a “fit and proper person” as she refused his appeal to get his licence back.
Private Hire taxi driver Shahzad Ahmad, from Liverpool, had his licence revoked by Knowsley Council 's Licensing Team back in June 2021 following two separate complaints relating to inappropriate touching of female passengers. He appealed the decision but that was dismissed after appearing at Liverpool Magistrates Court on July 18.
The Judge found Mr Ahmad could not be considered a "fit and proper person" and that he had behaved "shockingly inappropriately." The Judge also praised the bravery of the two women who came forward and reported the incidents.
