The guidelines framed by the Court are as follows: The State Government shall appoint one Nodal Officer at each District Head Quarter who shall be made accountable for ensuring strict compliance to these guidelines as per the time frame stipulated hereinbelow.

In addition to above, there shall be a dedicated helpdesk at every district police office manned 24X7 to address representations concerning such threat to life and liberty which shall maintain an electronic record qua the movement of each representation specifying time and date of receipt, name of Officer assigned, the stage of hearing and the status of the inquiry.
