(2) The Board may sanction the draft scheme with or without modifications or may reject it and direct that in lieu thereof, a fresh draft scheme be prepared and submitted for its sanction: Provided that it shall submit the draft scheme to the Chief Commissioner for his orders— (a) where the owners of more than fifty per cent of the area of the lands included in the draft scheme other than Government lands have made objections to the draft scheme or part thereof; or (b) where the draft scheme has been prepared in pursuance of an order of the Chief Commissioner under section 9.

(6) The Board may, for the purposes of carrying out the objects of the scheme which has come into force under sub-section (5) make bye-laws requiring any person or persons or the public generally to take certain action or to refrain from doing certain acts in respect of any matters supplementary and incidental to the scheme.
