The Court emphasized that the Tribunal cannot exercise inherent powers to award compensation, which are reserved for courts of plenary jurisdiction. Additionally, the Court ruled that the Tribunal's power to amend orders is limited to rectifying apparent mistakes and does not extend to substantive changes like enhancing compensation.
