Abstract. We study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite $\cal{S}$-manifold. The main result is to prove two characterization theorems for such a lightlike hypersurface. In additon to these main theorems, we study the geometry of totally umbilical lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite $\cal{S}$-manifold.
