New Delhi, October 3: The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to entertain a plea seeking a direction to declare the 'Ram Sethu' as a national monument.

'Ram Sethu', also known as 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, which was also 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. SC on Medical Negligence: Supreme Court Awards Rs 1.5 Crore Compensation to Retired Air Veteran Who Contracted HIV During Blood Transfusion, Says 'Indian Army and Air Force Liable'.
