On 12.02.2007, the case was adjourned for today because the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondent Nos. 1, 2, 5 and 6 made a statement that the issue relating to introduction of mechanized boats for carrying on passengers during festive seasons is under active consideration of the State Government.
