In the ongoing hearing on a batch of Public Interest Litigations (PILs) before the High Court, the petitioners' arguments on Tuesday focused on the precise geographical and statutory distinctions between “inland waters” and “territorial waters” in the context of offshore casino vessels. Submitting navigation charts and official notifications issued by the Directorate General of Shipping and the Hydrographic Department (Hydro Bharat), the petitioners pointed out that the established baseline connects points such as Cabo de Rama in the south to Sail Rock and Burnt Rocks/Vengurla Rocks off Malvan in the north.
