It kinda depends on the effect, the best general example that I can think of is some effects from Oriana's flash cards; like the spell that was used on Fukiyose which was a "single time use", so once the moment that Fukiyose touched it she unknowingly sent the spell activate and then it wasn't effective anymore; in that case Touma touching her solved the issue since she only suffered the side effects of the spell, and the spell was technically no longer working.
When Oriana used her spell to target wounds on Tsuchimikado, we had that once the spell was activated it keept working on the target until the actual spell ran out, so touching Tsuchimikado was like touching Innocentius and had definitive dispelling no effect.
Now, considering that Touma touched a bunch of unconscious people early on the novel (when he checked the health of the Anti-skill crew and when he moved the people out of the falling restaurant onto the street) and none of them woke up we have that it's likely that Divine Punishment works constantly on the target until the spell is destroyed, and thus it's likely that Touma's hand can negate the spell before it targets a person, but not after that happens.
