12. A Pension is granted only on the condition that it becomes forfeited, and may be withdrawn by His Excellency the Governor, in any of the following cases :-
(a.) On the conviction of the Grantee for any indictable offence.
(b.) On his knowingly associating with thieves or suspected persons.
(c) On his refusing to give information and assistance to the Police whenever in his power, for the detection and apprehension of Criminals, and for the suppression of any disturbance of the public peace.
(d.) If he enter into or continue to carry on any business, occupation, or employment, which shall be, in the opinion of His Excellency the Governor, disgraceful in itself or injurious to the public, or in which he shall make use of the fact of his former employment in the Police in a manner which His Excellency the Governor considers to be discreditable and improper.
13. It shall, however, be in the discretion of the Governor in Council to grant a special rate of pension to any Subordinate Officer or Constable of the Police Force who may be compelled to quit the Public Service by reason of severe bodily injury, occasioned without his own fault, in the discharge of his public duty.
In every such case the amount of pension shall be made to vary partly in proportion to the number of years served by the injured man, and partly in proportion to the severity of the injury. The portion of the pension earned by length of service shall be calculated at the rate of 1/60th of the salary and emoluments of the sufferer at the time when the injury or accident occurred, for each year of service completed by him at the time he retires, whether the number of years served be more or less than 10, but no number of years service shall be allowed to give a claim to pension of more than 40/60 in respect of service only. In every such case a Medical Certificate shall be furnished stating:
(a.) Whether the capacity of the sufferer to contribute towards his own support is slightly impaired, impaired, materially impaired, or totally destroyed, and
(b) Whether such incapacity is likely to be permanent.
(c) Whether the retirement is to be attributed solely and immediately to the injuries received.
An addition to the pension of the sufferer, on account of the injury may then be made on the following scale:
(a.) When the capacity is certified to be slightly impaired not exceeding 6/60ths of the pay and emoluments;
(b.) When impaired not exceeding 12/60ths;
(c.) When materially impaired not exceeding 18/60ths;
(d.) When totally destroyed not exceeding 24/60ths.
But in no case, however, shall the total amount of the pension exceed the full amount of the pay and emoluments of the sufferer at the time when the injury occurred.
