JAMMU, Sept 3: A Division Bench of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court comprising Chief Justice Pankaj Mithal and Justice Sanjay Dhar dismissed the Public Interest Litigation filed by Mohammad Habib seeking direction to Union of India through Department of Communications, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and District Manager, Telecommunications BSNL, Leh to remove the mobile tower that has been installed/erected in the close proximity of New Type of Public Health Centre, (NTPHC) Batalik Kargil and reallocate the same at some other place as per the norms and guidelines of Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
The petitioner alleges that the respondents have installed the mobile tower in close proximity to NTPHC without obtaining NOC from respondent No. 3 and 4 and the local residents of Batalik. The Electromagnetic Field Radiation EMR emitted from the said mobile tower is a health hazard leading to cancer and other diseases to the people living near NTPHC in Batalik.
DB after hearing both the sides and observed that in the absence of any specific allegations that the installation of the aforesaid tower is contrary to any statutory provision, guideline or any norm, we are of the opinion that it is not a fit case where removal of the mobile tower is necessitated. With these observations, the Court dismissed the PIL.
