The court ordered that when investigations lead to exoneration, police must file written complaints against informants and witnesses providing false information within 60 days. Failure to comply may result in departmental and contempt proceedings against police officers. The court emphasized adherence to these directives to prevent misuse of police machinery and ensure judicial accountability.
