Delhi High Court seeks Rapido’s stand on plea over accessibility barriers for differently-abled

The Delhi High Court has sought the stand of bike-taxi aggregator Rapido on a plea moved by two visually impaired persons claiming that the aggregator’s mobile app had “critical barriers” that posed an inconvenience to the differently-abled. The court issued notice to Rapido after petitioners Amar Jain and Dipto Ghosh Choudhary flagged the issue on February 2. They had originally moved the high court in November last year, seeking a direction to Rapido to conduct an immediate accessibility audit and ensure end-to-end accessibility for the differently-abled.
