Civil procedure powers extend to criminal-procedure consequences where proceedings are treated as judicial, affecting evidence and penalty.

The provision empowers the Authority to exercise the powers of a civil court under the Code of Civil Procedure for specified procedural purposes, enabling summoning witnesses, compelling production of documents and receiving evidence. Proceedings before the Authority are deemed judicial proceedings, attracting penal consequences for false evidence, and the Authority is treated as a civil court for certain criminal-procedure provisions while specific criminal-process chapters are excluded.
