On Friday, The Delhi High Court dismissed the plea of Juhi Chawla regarding 5G wireless network technology. The court said the lawsuit was for “Publicity”.
The court said, directing Juhi Chawla and others to deposit court fees, “The suit is dismissed. Plaintiffs abused the process of law. Costs of Rs 20 lakh are imposed on plaintiffs.”
Juhi Chawla, shared the link for the court hearing on Twitter and Instagram, inviting people to join in.
On Wednesday, The High Court’s virtual hearing was frequently interrupted by her fans by singing some of her hits from her movies.
The court also ordered action against people who interrupted a virtual hearing on Wednesday using a link the actor had shared on social media.
“It appears the suit was for publicity. Juhi Chawla circulated a link of the hearing on social media,” the High Court said, asking the Delhi Police to identify and take action against the rogue singers.
The Court snapped on Juhi Chawla’s lawyer Deepak Khosla for asking to hold the order, arguing that the costs were without any legal basis.
“The matter is over. You have your legal remedies. Counsel should know his limits,” the Court said.
The lawsuit by Juhi Chawla, Veeresh Malik and Teena Vachani said if the telecom industry’s plans for 5G became a reality, it would cause irreversible damage to the environment and “no person, animal, bird, insect and plant on earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to radiation 10x to 100x times greater than what exists today.”
