s 50 Suit for recovery of duty, etc., by Commissioner
50.—(1) Despite the provisions of any other written law, all duty and penalty required to be paid under this Act may be sued for by way of a specially endorsed originating claim.[Act 25 of 2021 wef 01/04/2022] (2) The Commissioner may, in his or her own name, sue for any such duty or penalty and is entitled to all costs allowed by law against the person liable thereto. (3) The Commissioner may appear personally or by counsel in any suit instituted under this section. (4) In any suit under this section, the production of a certificate signed by the Commissioner giving the name and address of the defendant and the amount of duty or penalty due by the defendant is sufficient evidence of the amount so due and sufficient authority for the court to give judgment for that amount. (5) Any penalty required to be paid under this Act is recoverable as if it were duty due and payable under this Act and accordingly, section 6(4) of the Limitation Act 1959 does not apply to such penalty.
