(1) The Corporation, the Standing Committee or the Commissioner, as the case may be, shall forthwith remedy any defects or irregularities that may be communicated by the auditor and shall send yearly report to the State Government of the action taken by the municipal authority concerned: Provided that if there is a difference of opinion between the municipal authority and the auditor, or if the municipal authority does not remedy any defect or irregularity within a period considered by the auditor to be reasonable, the matter shall be referred to the State Government within such time and in such manner as may be prescribed, and the State Government may pass such orders thereon as it thinks fit. The orders of the State Government shall be final and municipal authority shall take action in accordance therewith.
(2) If within any period fixed by an order made by the State Government under sub-section (1), the municipal authority concerned fails to comply with such order, the provisions of section 375 shall, with all necessary modifications, be deemed to apply as if such order had been issued under section 374 without prejudice to the powers of the State Government to supersede the Corporation in exercise of its powers under section 379.
