In Essar Telecom Infrastructure (P) Ltd. v.

But then, it is for the concerned party to plead and prove as to the specific threat to the health hazards with reference to reliable materials and also as to the alleged infringement of any statutory prescription or violation of the norms prescribed. It is not for the petitioners to prove a 'negative aspect' that there is no health hazard. When the petitioners have prima facie established their right to construct and operate the mobile transmission tower by obtaining all the required licences, it is for the objectors, if any, to prove infraction of their right, if any, and to show the disentitlement of the petitioners to establish a mobile tower, by resorting to the remedy of approaching the licensing authorities or to approach the Civil Court or by establishing their right in the writ petition for police protection. If any such objection is found prima facie established, this Court can certainly decline to grant police protection or in case the respondent fails to prove their right by documentary evidence, could still reserve his right to approach the Civil Court, as the burden to prove any such infraction is on the objector who asserts any such right." - Posidon Infrastructure Pvt.
