Notably, in June 2019, Justice N Anand Venkatesh of the Madras High Court had observed that apprehensions on the effect of radiation from cellphone towers was without scientific backing.
“This Court has consistently taken the view that no one can be prevented from erecting the cell phone towers on a mere apprehension about the effect of radiation from the cell phone tower. The apprehension does not have a scientific backing. Till a positive finding is given in this regard, cell phone towers cannot be prevented to be installed on mere apprehensions,” he had said.
