In this paper an attempt has been made to study the effect of Hall currents on the vorticity of flow of an elastico-viscous fluid with transverse magnetic field past an infinite horizontal plate for both the classes of impulsive as well as uniformly accelerated motion of the plate. The magnetic lines of force are assumed to be fixed relative to the plate. In this study vorticity increases with the increase in k (Elasticity Parameter) and m (Hall currents Parameter), but it decreases with the
increase in M (Magnetic Parameter).
