Everybody  has (not have) worked so hard.

I'm not pleased  about the new offices being so far away.

The smaller the car, the more economical to run.

Are you happy for (not happy with) me to go ahead and order the parts?

#Legal

The #Delhi #HighCourt on #Wednesday termed as “defective” the suit of actress-environmentalist Juhi Chawla against setting up of #5G #wireless networks in the country and said it was filed for “#media publicity”.

“It is not the sweet will of the plaintiff to join as many parties and cause of action. Please see the memo of parties. Tell me how you have joined them. Every party cannot be arrayed in the suit,” the judge said.

The court further said, “It is a defective plaint. This suit has been filed only for media publicity and nothing more than that. It is very shocking.” “Did you approach the government with a representation? If yes, is there any denial?,” the court asked to which the plaintiffs’ counsel replied in negative.

The court said in the suit, the #plaintiff says ‘I have personal knowledge of paragraphs 1 to 8’ only.

“Plaintiff has no personal knowledge of the plaint. I am surprised. How can it be? Is the suit permissible when the plaintiff has no personal knowledge of the averment? I have not seen a suit where a person says I don’t know, please conduct an inquiry,” the #judge said. 

Senior advocate #Kapil Sibal, representing private telecom companies, said launching of 5G #technology is a policy of the #government and as it is a policy, it cannot be a wrongful act.

On the issue of public nuisance, he said it has to be first established by the plaintiffs that the policy is a public nuisance and they cannot just make averments and get the relief.

“They have to establish that the policy itself is wrong,” he said.

The suit has sought a direction to the authorities to certify to the public at large that how 5G technology is safe to humans, animals and every type of living organism, #flora and #fauna.

“This suit will reveal a complete sell-out by the #regulatory #agencies who, statutorily, have been tasked to protect the health and life of the public, but whose actions reveal an utter derogation of their own statutory duty in order to advance private interests...,” the plea has alleged.

“Since ‘prevention’ is well-accepted to be far better than ‘cure’, immediate measures must be taken to protect humanity and the environment, in accordance with ethical imperatives as well as formal international agreements, before such harm is actually unleashed,” it said.

The plea said that in #April 2019, #Brussels became the first major city in the world to halt any further steps in the 5G rollout on account of health hazards.

“In fact, as recently as on May 5, 2021, the #Parliament of #Belgium, still not willing to allow 5G rollout in Brussels, invited 45 ordinary citizens drawn at random to address it on their concerns, assuring them that the 5G roll-out will not be permitted till they are heard by Parliament and their concerns are properly and fully addressed,” it said.
