Preamble: The right of the Nagas to develop themselves according to their freely expressed wishes is recognised.

1. Judicial: All cases whether civil or criminal arising between Nagas in the Naga Hills will be disposed of by duly constituted Naga courts according to Naga customary law, or such law as may be introduced with the consent of duly recognised Naga representative organisation, save that where a sentence of transportation or death has been passed there will be right of appeal to the Governor. In cases arising between Nagas and non-Nagas in (a) Kohima and Mokokchung town areas, and (b) in the neighbouring plains districts, the judge, if not a Naga will be assisted by a Naga assessor.

2. Executive: The general principle is accepted that what the Naga National Council is prepared to pay for the Naga National Council should control. This principle will apply to the work done as well as the staff employed.

While the District officer will be appointed at the discretion of the Governor, sub-division of the Naga Hills should be administered by a Sub-Divisional Council with a full-time executive President, paid by the Naga National Council, who would be responsible to the District Officer for all matters falling within the latter's responsibility, and to the Naga National Council for matters falling within their responsibility.

In regard to:
(a) Agriculture: The Naga National Council will exercise all the powers now vested in the District Officers.
(b) P.W.D.: The Naga National Council will take over full control.
(c) Education and Forest Department: Naga National Council is prepared to pay for all the services and staff.

3. Legislative: That no laws passed by the Provincial or Central legislature which materially affect the term of this agreement or the religious practices of the Nagas shall have legal force in the Naga Hills without the consent of the Naga National Council.

In cases of dispute as to whether any law did so affect this agreement, the matter would be referred by the Naga National Council to the Governor who would then direct that the law in question should have no legal force in the Naga Hills pending the decision of the Central Government.

4. Land: That land with its resources in the Naga Hills should not be alienated to a non-Naga without the consent of the Naga National Council.

5. Taxation: That the Naga National Council will be responsible for the imposition, collection and expenditure of the land revenue and house tax, and to such other taxes as may be imposed by the Naga National Council.

6. Boundaries: The present administrative divisions should be modified so as (1) to bring back into the Naga Hills District all the forest transferred to the Sibsagar and Nowgong Districts in the past and (2) to bring under the unified administrative unit, as far as possible, all Nagas. All the areas so included be within the scope of the present proposed agreement. No areas should be transferred out of the Naga Hills without the consent of the Naga National Council.

7. Arms Act: The District officers will act on the advice of the Naga National Council in accordance with the provisions of the Arms Act.

8. Regulations: The Chin Hills Regulation and Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation will remain in Force.

9. Period of Agreement: The Governor of Assam as the Agent of the Government of Indian Union will have a special responsibility for a period of ten years to ensure the due observance of this Agreement; at the end of this period, the Naga National Council will be asked whether they require the above Agreement to be extended for a further period, a new agreement regarding the future of the Naga people arrived at.
