(1) The Registrar or the nominee hearing a dispute under section 66, shall, in addition to the powers conferred on him under that section, have the same powers as are vested in a Civil Court while trying a suit under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of 1908), in respect of the following matters, namely:--
(a) summoning and enforcing the attendance of persons and examining them on oath;
(b) requiring the discovery and inspection of documents;
(c) receiving evidence on affidavits;
(d) requisitioning any public record or copies thereof from any court or office;
(e) issuing commissions for the examination of witnesses or documents; and
(f) any other matter which may be prescribed.
(2) Except with the permission of the Registrar or the nominee, no party shall be represented at the hearing of a dispute by a legal practitioner.
(3) (a) If the Registrar or the nominee is satisfied that any person, whether he is a subscriber or not, has acquired any interest in the property of a person who is a party to a dispute, he may order that the person who has acquired the interest in the property may be joined as a party to the dispute, and any decision that may be given by the Registrar or the nominee on the dispute shall be binding on the party so joined, in the same manner as if he were an original party to the dispute.
(b) Where a dispute has been referred in the name of a wrong person, or where all the necessary parties have not been included, the Registrar or the nominee may, if he is satisfied that it was due to a genuine mistake, order any other person to be substituted or added as parties to the dispute at any stage of hearing of the dispute on such terms as he thinks just.
(c) The Registrar or the nominee may, at any stage of the proceedings, either upon or without the application of either party and on such terms as may appear to the Registrar or the nominee to be just, order that the name of any party improperly joined be struck off.
(d) Any person who is a party to the dispute and entitled to more than one relief in respect of the same cause of action may claim all or any such reliefs, but if he omits to claim any such relief, he shall not be entitled to claim that relief, except with the leave of the Registrar or the nominee.
