This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act, 2016 (Uttarakhand Act 11 of 2016), s.194(1); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

The authority shall, after such further enquiry as may be required take suitable action and inform the [Gram panchayat]5 of the result.
