Saket Court Summons Zomato Over Allegations of Misleading Food Delivery Advertising

The Saket Court in Delhi is set to address a petition filed by a consumer on March 20, which highlights concerns over the advertising practices of food delivery giant, Zomato. In the last hearing, the court took action by issuing a summons to Zomato in response to allegations of false advertising regarding the delivery of hot food.

The summons was sent to Zomato following accusations of misleading consumers with promises of delivering hot and authentic food from reputed restaurants. The court has mandated Zomato to provide its responses to the allegations, marking a significant step in addressing the issue at hand.

The civil suit filed before the Saket Court underscores the growing scrutiny over the practices of online food delivery platforms and their advertising claims. Consumers increasingly rely on these platforms for convenient access to a variety of culinary options, with expectations of timely delivery and quality service.
