The police have completed background verification of about 3,500 cab drivers till Friday.
Police say their verification is not foolproof. "We check for cases in Karnataka and issue a certificate. We can't verify if drivers face cases in other states," said a senior policeman.
No intra-state network exists for the police to determine if the 3,500 drivers who have obtained clearance are free from criminal charges elsewhere, he said.
The High Court deadline for drivers to get police clearance expires on Saturday, December 10.
The transport department is the enforcing authority. It will decide on the fate of drivers who are yet to apply for the certificate.
"We will continue to verify the background and issue certificates even after December 10," the officer said.
