Delhi HC dismisses Juhi Chawla’s petition against 5G as publicity stunt

New Delhi, June 5

Delhi High Court called actress Juhi Chawla’s petition challenging 5G network “defective, abuse and misuse of the process of law” as it dismissed her petition with costs.

The Delhi High Court criticised the lawsuit as one that “wasted the curt’s time” and was filed for publicity.

The court also imposed a cost of Rs 20 lakh.

The court was critical of Chawla’s action of sharing a web link of the hearing on social media—a move that caused some disruption to the court’s proceedings on Wednesday as a man sang songs from the actress’s movies while the court was still hearing the petition.

The high court had previously questioned Chawla’s decision to approach the judiciary before making a representation before the central government.
