2013 (10) TMI 127 - KERALA HIGH COURTErection of telecommunication tower - Obstruction in construction - Held that:- None of the respondents have filed any counter affidavit in this writ petition. The matter was heard. Whether the commissioning of a telecommunication tower would affect the health of the people of the area is an issue which is still being debated among the scientist communities all over the world. This Court has, in two decisions, held that there is no evidence that the same will affect the health of the people. Whether it will affect the health of the people or not, it is an undisputed fact that we are bound to live for the rest of our lives with mobile phones in our pockets. The statute prescribes certain licenses and permits for erecting telecommunication towers. All what we can ensure is that such requirements are complied with in the erection and operation of the tower. In the above circumstances, if the petitioner has obtained necessary permits and licenses, nobody can prevent them from erecting and commissioning telecommunication towers. Therefore, we dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to see that the petitioner is not prevented from commissioning the telecommunication tower already erected, if they have all the permits and licences to operate the telecommunication tower - Decided in favour of appellant.
