Bombay HC Overturns Panchayat's Mobile Tower Ban

Bombay HC Overturns Panchayat's Mobile Tower Ban

The Bombay High Court has decided that a local village council cannot stop a company from building a mobile phone tower.

The village council had tried to stop the tower because they thought it could be bad for people's health.

The Court said that mobile phones are very important nowadays, and everyone needs them.

The Court also pointed out the village council didn't follow the correct rules when they decided to stop the tower.

The company had already done almost all the work to build the tower.

The court stated that once the village council gives permission, they generally can't take it back unless there's an emergency.
