Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the transfer of three writ petitions from the High Court of Madras concerning the Setusamudram Project to itself, citing the need for a unified resolution of common issues raised in the pending cases. The Court noted the High Court's directive for the Union of India to disclose whether an archaeological survey was conducted regarding Adam's Bridge/Rama Setu under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958. The Court emphasized the importance of addressing environmental concerns and potential alternative alignments to avoid damage to the site.
