1[16C. Enforcement of the orders of the competent authority and appellate authority.--(1) Any
order made by the competent authority or the appellate authority determining any amount payable under
this Act may be enforced in the same manner as if such order were a decree made by a civil court in a suit

such order, to the principal civil court of original jurisdiction within the local limits of whose jurisdiction
the order was made.
(2) Where any order under sub-section (1) is required to be enforced by the principal civil court of
original jurisdiction, a certified copy of the order shall be produced to the proper officer of the court
required to enforce the order.
(3) The production of such certified copy shall be sufficient evidence of the order.
(4) Upon the production of such certified copy, the principal civil court of original jurisdiction shall
take the requisite steps for enforcing the order, in the same manner as if it had been a decree made by
itself.]
