Telangana High Court Issues Notice to Zomato After Delivery Worker Challenges ID Block

Telangana HC issued notice to Zomato on a writ petition filed by a delivery worker alleging that his delivery ID was blocked without prior notice.

The petitioner said his account was deactivated on 7 November 2024 for an alleged “behavioural issue,” despite maintaining a high performance rating and depending solely on the platform for income.

He stated that he approached the Labour Commissioner in December 2024, but Zomato did not respond to two subsequent conciliation notices. The petition seeks reinstatement of his ID, compensation, and fair grievance-redressal safeguards for gig workers.

The Court has sought responses from Zomato and relevant authorities.
