New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday dismissed actress Juhi Chawla’s petition against ‘untested’ implementation of 5G telecom technology in India and imposed a fine of Rs 20 lakh on all the petitioners.
Chawla’s lawsuit had demanded research into the possible impact of radiation from 5G waves on human beings and other living organisms.
On Friday, the court stated that the petition had been filed as an “attempt to gain publicity”. The bench said it had no concrete basis and was filed unnecessarily.
She could have written to the government about the issue first, the court said.
