SC Refuses To Entertain Plea Seeking Direction To Declare ‘Ram Sethu’ As A National Monument

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to entertain a plea seeking direction to declare the ‘Ram Sethu’ as a national monument.

“It is an administrative decision,” the top court stated while asking the petitioner how can the court direct the construction of a wall. It also declined to tag the PIL along with another petition that has sought a direction to declare the monument a national heritage.

‘Ram Sethu’, aka Adam’s bridge, is a chain of limestone shoals between Pamban Island, off the south-eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, and Mannar Island, off the north-western coast of Sri Lanka.

The plea seeking direction for construction of a wall at the site, came up for hearing before a bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia.

The Hindu Personal Law Board filed the plea through its president Ashok Pandey.
