Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Saleem Jessar, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Nisar Ahmed Bhanbhro(Author) Order Date: 13-OCT-25
The Cellular Companies are under statutory obligation to follow the safety standards articulated under the safety guidelines issued by SUPARCO and MoIT. The issue raised by the petitioners concerns the health and safety of the people and is of critical importance for the people of the entire country. No material has been placed on record to show that environmental impact assessment has been done by the EPA, PTA and cellular phone operators or any further research has been undertaken after 2007 to address the concerns raised by the petitioners. Surprisingly the PTA has filed an evasive reply fixing responsibility of ensuring safety standards on EPA, whereas per reply filed by SUPARCO it was the prime responsibility of PTA to ensure safety measures in the operation of cellular networks.
