Government petitions center for response regarding petition filed by Subramanian Swamy seeking declaration of Ram Setu as a 'National Monument' before the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the Union government, seeking its response on a plea by former Member of Parliament, Subramanian Swamy. The plea requests the declaration of Ram Setu as a National Monument and a monument of National Importance.
Swamy's representation, made under the Ancient Monuments and Archeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958, is related to the matter of Ram Setu. The Act is a key piece of legislation that protects and manages archaeological sites and remains in India.
The Union government has not yet decided on Swamy's request to declare Ram Setu as a national monument under the Act. The Supreme Court has requested a decision on the matter, directing the government to expedite its response. A hearing on the matter is scheduled after four weeks from early September 2025.
The matter of Ram Setu is of significant national importance, and the Supreme Court's intervention underscores the urgency of the issue. Ram Setu, also known as Adam's Bridge, is a series of limestone shoals, lying between India and Sri Lanka. It is believed to have been built by the vanaras, a race of monkey-like beings, in the ancient Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
Subramanian Swamy, a well-known political figure, has been a vocal advocate for the protection and preservation of Ram Setu. His plea to the Supreme Court marks a significant step towards ensuring the protection and conservation of this ancient monument.
The current status of the request or the plea is not provided in the article. It remains to be seen how the Union government will respond to the Supreme Court's directive and whether Ram Setu will be declared a National Monument.
