Power of the Board to agree or refuse to prepare and execute the scheme

(1) In the case of schemes proposed by a local authority, the Board may agree to prepare and execute the scheme if it is satisfied that such scheme is necessary and feasible. The Board may refuse to prepare and execute such scheme if it is satisfied that such scheme is either unnecessary or not feasible or that it is otherwise un-executable.

(2) Any local authority deeming itself aggrieved by the refusal of the Board under sub-section (1), may, within two months from the date of receipt of the order of such refusal, appeal to the Government who may pass such orders thereon as it thinks fit and it shall be the duty of the Board or local authority to give effect to such orders accordingly.
