Juhi Chawla’s pleas against fine frivolous: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday termed as “frivolous” and said that it was shocked at pleas by Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla seeking waiver of ₹20 lakh cost imposed on them for their plea challenging 5G wireless network technology.

Justice J R Midha, who retired from the Delhi high court on Wednesday, said that he had never seen such a frivolous application in his judicial career.

“I was shocked to see such an application. This court took a lenient view and did not issue contempt when a clear case was made out… I was inclined. You say the court had no power to impose costs (but) the court has the power to issue contempt,” the court said as it took strong exception to the application.
