HC Notice To Swiggy, Zepto Over Unfriendly Apps For Visually-Impaired

The High Court has issued a notice to Swiggy and Zepto in response to a petition alleging that their mobile applications are unfriendly for visually impaired users. The petition likely argues that the apps lack necessary accessibility features, hindering visually impaired individuals from using their services effectively, thus potentially violating their rights. The court's notice directs Swiggy and Zepto to respond to these allegations and explain the measures they have taken or plan to take to make their platforms more accessible. This case highlights the growing importance of digital accessibility and the legal obligations of online service providers to cater to the needs of all users, including those with disabilities.
