Where a dispute is referred to the Authority for determination under sub-section 33AB(1) of the Act, the parties shall furnish to the Authority or, if the Authority so notifies the parties, to a person prescribed by the Authority pursuant to sub-section 33AB(1)(b) of the Act, such evidence in such form and at such time as it or the person so directs that it or the person may reasonably require to enable determination of the dispute.

(2)
