The petition was filed by two shopowners from New Mayurdarshan Society against Indus Towers Ltd which was erecting a tower nearby.

Judge D D Kurulkar turned down the plea in the absence of any evidence that erection of mobile tower and base centre was illegal or violated any law, according to a statement from Cellular Operators Association of India.

The court said that on the basis of WHO report on the radiation from mobile towers, and as per a committee of experts constituted by the government earlier, there is no substance in the argument that emissions from mobile towers are hazardous.

 

The COAI statement said the order vindicated the industry's long-standing position that mobile towers and base stations comply with safety, environmental and health norms prescribed by the government.
