The Supreme Court has decided to hear the plea by Subrahmanian Swamy on declaring Ram Sethu as a national heritage monument. The plea will be considered on Wednesday, March 9.
A bench comprising Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices A S Bopanna and Hima Kohli was told by Swamy that the plea has not come up for hearing for the last many months and that it not be deleted from the cause list.
“We will list for hearing on March 9,” the bench said.
Swamy had mentioned his plea for urgent hearing on April 8 last year as well. Before that, on January 23, 2020, the apex court had said it will consider Swamy’s plea after three months.
Ram Sethu, also known as Adam’s bridge, is a chain of limestone shoals between Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, off the south-eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, and Mannar Island, off the north-western coast of Sri Lanka.
