Supreme Court Reserves Judgment On PIL To Make e-KYC Process Accessible For Acid Attack Survivors & Persons With Blindness/Low Vision

The Supreme Court reserved its judgment on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking to make e-KYC processes more accessible for acid attack survivors and persons with blindness or low vision. The petitioners argued that the current system disproportionately affects these individuals, preventing them from accessing vital services. The court is considering whether adjustments to the e-KYC framework are necessary to make it inclusive. This case highlights the ongoing challenges faced by people with disabilities in accessing basic services and the role of the court in ensuring that technology and government processes are accessible to all citizens.
