THE LEVY OF TOLLS ACT, 1995 ( 1938 A. D. )

Section 6. Procedure in case of non- payment of tolls.

In case of nonpayment of any tolls on demand, the officers appointed to collect the same, may, in the first instance, levy the same by sale of any goods of the person liable for the payment. In the event of the said goods being insufficient for the payment of the toll, the Toll Officer may detain the carriage or animal on which the toll is chargeable for such period not exceeding 24 hours till the payment is made. If any toll and the cost arising from such seizure remain undischarged for 24 hours, the case may be brought before the nearest Magistrate within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the toll-gate or station lies. The Magistrate shall thereupon proceed to enforce payment of the amount in like manner as if the amount had been a fine inflicted by himself.
