(1) If any local authority when called upon to submit a scheme under sub-section (2) of section 3 fails so to do, or, after a scheme has been sanctioned under sub-section (4) of section 3 fails to give effect to a scheme as so sanctioned, whether wholly or in part, the State Government may, after making such inquiry as it may consider necessary and after giving an opportunity to the local authority to be heard in the matter, appoint any person to prepare the scheme or to give effect to it, as the case may be, and may direct that such part of the expenses as that Government may determine shall be defrayed out of the funds belonging to the local authority.
     (2) Where any such direction as is referred to in sub-section (1) is issued, any person who has for the time being the custody of any moneys on behalf of the local authority, either as a banker or in any other capacity, shall, notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, be bound to comply with such direction.
