Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Tomb Relocation

Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Tomb Relocation

There's a special burial place, or tomb, inside the Madras High Court, where the court made a decision about moving the tomb.

Some people disagreed with this decision.

So, they took the issue to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear them out.

The tomb belongs to David Yale and his friend Joseph Hynmer.

Back in 1921, the government said this tomb was a protected monument.

The court wants to make sure that this is handled correctly.
