Actress turned environmentalist Juhi Chawla had filed a lawsuit against the implementation of the 5G network reasoning that the radiation is harmful.
The Delhi High Court then dismissed Juhi’s lawsuit and also imposed a fine of Rs 20 LAKHS for “abusing the process of law”.
However, after 8 whole months of this case coming into place, the fine has now been reduced by the court. Juhi also issues a statement on her social media handle saying on the fine reduction. The amount was reduced after Juhi said she would work with the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) for the cause of marginalized women and children.
In her statement, Juhi mentioned that the fine has been reduced from Rs 20 Lakh to Rs 2 Lakhs!
“We graciously accept the indulgence of the Delhi High Court and are grateful that the costs were reduced from Rs 20 lakhs to Rs 2 lakhs. In addition, we are happy to work with the DSLSA by featuring in the DSLSA’s programmes raising the causes of women and children who are in need to legal air. We are glad that the Hon’ble High Court agreed with and recognised the seriousness of our campaign in raising awareness against the health hazards caused by the EMF radiations of 5G and encouraged us to continue with our efforts giving us the added opportunity to seek appropriate legal remedies in the future,” the entire statement reads.
The lawsuit that Juhi had filed had also demanded a study that the implementation would be safe not just in current times but also in the near future.
