TIL Desk Bollywood/ The Delhi high court on Friday dismissed actress Juhi Chawla’s lawsuit challenging the setting up of 5G wireless networks in the country and slapped a cost of Rs 20 lakh on her and co-petitioners by describing the plea as ‘defective’, ‘abuse of process of law’ and filed for ‘gaining publicity’.
Justice J R Midha said the plaintiffs — Chawla and two others — have abused and misused the process of law and wasted the court’s time.
The judge said the plaint in which questions have been raised about health hazards due to the 5G technology was ‘not maintainable’ and was ‘stuffed with unnecessary Scandalous, frivolous and vexatious averments’ which are liable to be struck down.
Besides the cost of Rs 20 lakh, the court also asked the plaintiffs to deposit the deficient court fees of Rs 1.95 lakh, failing which the registry shall place the copy of this judgment before the concerned court in those proceedings.
