You can file a petition before the court seeking strict action under the BNSS for non-compliance. Request the court to issue a non-bailable warrant (NBW) or take action against the police for delay. You may also engage a lawyer to push for faster enforcement and update the court on the lack of police response. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
