Digital access is a right: SC directs KYC changes for disabled persons

The Supreme Court on Wednesday held that digital access is an intrinsic component of the right to life.

“The right to digital access, therefore, emerges as an intrinsic component of the right to life and liberty, necessitating that the state proactively design and implement inclusive digital ecosystems that serve not only the privileged but also the marginalised, those who have been historically excluded,” the court said.
