(I) When so required by the Toll Tax Officer or any other person authorised by him in this behalf, the driver of a motor transport vehicle shall stop the vehicle whether at the barrier or any other place within the State and keep it stationary for a reasonable period in order to enable the Toll Tax Officer or the person authorised by him in this behalf to satisfy himself that the toll, if payable, has been duly paid and that provisions of this Act have been complied with. (2) When the Toll Tax Officer or the person authorised by him under sub-section (1), has reason to believe, after giving the driver of the motor transport vehicle a reasonable opportunity of being heard,— (a) that the toll has not been paid ; or (b) that any breach of the provisions of this Act has been committed; he may detain the motor transport vehicle or any part or accessory thereof sufficient in his opinion for realisation of the maximum amount of penalty leviable under Section 7, until the toll is paid or cash security equivalent to such amount is furnished. (3) The things detained or the security furnished in terms of the provisions of sub-section (2), shall be dealt within such manner, as may be prescribed.
