Has a complaint been made to the district administration in this regard? If yes then whether a notice has been issued to the telecom house and the land owner. Depending on the answers to these questions the residents of the area can file a suit for injunction against the telecom house and also the land owner for the removal of tower on account of the health hazards it poses.

Punjab-Haryana High Court

Kuljit Singh vs State Of Punjab Through Secretary ... on 22 August, 2012

CWP No. 9310 of [deleted]-

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT

CHANDIGARH

*****

CWP No. 9310 of 2011 Date of decision : 22.8.2012 Kuljit Singh .......Petitioner Vs.

State of Punjab through Secretary and others .........Respondents CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh, Acting Chief Justice Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain Present:- Mr. Sudesh Sahi, Advocate, for Mr. Sandeep Punchhi, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. J.S. Puri, Addl. AG, Punjab Mr. Ashwani Talwar, Advocate, for respondent No. 6 (BSNL)

---

Jasbir Singh, Acting Chief Justice (oral) By filing this writ petition a prayer has been made that provisional permission given to respondents No.4 to 7 for installing a mobile tower at House No. 1643, (Block XX) Street No.3, New Prem Nagar, Ludhiana be quashed and directions be issued to the respondents for removal of mobile towers installed in the residential area, Ludhiana and further directions be issued to respondents No. 1 to 3 and 8 not to allow respondents No. 4 to 7 to erect mobile towers in residential areas of Ludhiana.

The issue of erection and removal of such like mobile towers in the residential area and that too without getting any permission from the competent authority, is also sub-judice before this Court in CWP No. 8627 of 2004 titled as Jagbir Singh and others v. State of Punjab and others. The decision arrived at in that writ petition would certainly govern the issue of erection/removal of such towers throughout the States of Punjab, Haryana and UT, Chandigarh.

In view of above, it is not necessary to keep the present writ petition pending and the same is disposed of. However, any interim order passed in this writ petition shall remain in existence till such time the CWP No. 8627 of 2004 is finally decided by this Court. The petitioners in this case are permitted to appear as interveners in the above mentioned petition, if they so desire.

You first gather the medical evidence of your health problem created by the radiations of the mobile tower near your home.

Afterwards, make a complaint with the municipality authorities as well as the health department within your limits. If your complaint has not been finding a solution you can file a suit to remove the health hazard tower from your vicinity.

How to remove mobile tower from residential area

You have to approach the local Municipal with the details about the health hazard issues and ask him to remove the same immediately, failing to hear you, the next step is to approach court with an injunction suit.

if you have direct evidence to prove that your disease is caused by the mobile tower then you can file a civil suit under law of tort. you should file suit for removing nuisance from the vicinity. contact a good advocate because it is very complex matter and many reports show that mobile tower causes no danger to any human or other living being.
