Appellate Tribunal procedure: guided by principles of natural justice with civil court powers and enforceable orders. Appellate Tribunal procedure follows the principles of natural justice and the Tribunal may regulate its own procedure. For discharge of its functions it has specified civil court powers such as summoning witnesses, compelling discovery, receiving affidavit evidence, requisitioning public records subject to evidentiary limits, issuing commissions, and dismissing or setting aside representations for default. Tribunal orders are enforceable like a court decree and proceedings are deemed judicial proceedings with the Tribunal treated as a civil court for specified penal and criminal procedural provisions.
