The Supreme Court has reprimanded the Punjab government multiple times, urging it to provide immediate medical aid and facilitate the transfer of Dallewal to a hospital. The court had specifically suggested moving him to a makeshift hospital set up within 700 meters of the protest site at Khanauri border. Despite these directives, the Punjab government has been criticized for its delayed and insufficient response.

The court's frustration is evident as it seeks compliance reports and continues to push for the necessary medical interventions to save Dallewal's life. The situation has garnered significant public and political attention, with various leaders and organizations urging the government to take the matter seriously and ensure Dallewal receives the medical care he urgently needs.
