66. Power of Planning Authority to make agreements.—(1) A Planning Authority shall be competent to make any agreement with any person in respect of any matter which is to be provided for in a Town Planning scheme, subject to the power of the State Government to modify or disallow such agreement and unless it is otherwise expressly provided therein, such agreement shall take effect on and from the date on which the Town Planning scheme comes into force. (2) Such agreement shall not in any way affect the duties of the Town Planning Officer as described in Chapter VI or the rights of third parties, but it shall be binding on the parties to the agreement notwithstanding any decision that may be made by the Town Planning Officer: Provided that, if the agreement is modified by the State Government, either party shall have the option of avoiding it if it so elects.
