Actor-environmentalist Juhi Chawla moved the division bench of Delhi High Court challenging the single bench order which had dismissed a lawsuit filed against the setting up of 5G wireless
networks in the country. In her appeal, Chawla stated that the single bench orders dismissing the suit is bad in law as a suit can only be dismissed once it has been allowed to be registered
as a suit by the Court.
Juhi further stated that the single bench imposed costs on her even after plaint had not been permitted by him to make sure into
a ‘suit’ and acting without jurisdiction, contrary to the law. She also challenged the single judge’s finding that the motion was preferred only to gain publicity, whose motive was inferred by the learned
single judge merely from the fact that Plaintiff had circulated the video-conferencing link of the High Court on her social media accounts which had resulted in the repeated disruption of the Court proceedings held on June 4, 2021.
The division bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Jasmeet Singh is scheduled to hear the matter on Thursday.
Single Bench of Justice JR Midha had dismissed the
lawsuit filed by actress-environmentalist Juhi Chawla against the setting up of 5G wireless
networks in the country.
