Where the Commissioner-General is of the opinion that any person is about to or likely to leave Sri Lanka without paying the levy due from him, the Commissioner-General may submit a certificate containing particulars of such levy and the name of such person to a Magistrate, who shall on receipt thereof issue a direction to the Inspector-General of
Police to take such measures as may be necessary to prevent such person from leaving Sri Lanka without paying the levy or furnishing security to the satisfaction of the
Commissioner-General for payment thereof.
The Commissioner-General shall, at the time of submission of the certificate to the Magistrate, issue to such person a notification thereof by personal service, or registered post or telegraph or by electronic means but the non-receipt of any such notification by such person shall not invalidate proceedings under this section.
The production of a certificate signed by the
Commissioner-General stating that the levy has been paid or that security has been furnished for the payment of the levy or payment of the levy to an officer in charge of a police station shall be sufficient authority for allowing such person to leave Sri Lanka.
Any officer in charge of a police station to whom the amount of any levy specified in such certificate has been paid shall forthwith pay such amount to the Commissioner-General.
