10. It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to require any officer other than a judge, whenever appointed, to retire from the public service of this Colony who-
(a) has attained the age of fifty-five years, or
(b) being an Indian subordinate officer of the Prison Department, lady medical officer, lady serving in the Education Department, or a European attendant at a Government mental hospital, or a matron, nursing sister or nurse in a Government hospital, has attained the age of fifty years; or
(c) appears to the Governor to be unable to discharge efficiently the duties of his office; or
(d) being a woman who has entered the public service after the commencement of this Ordinance is married.
11. (1) A pension granted to an officer under this Ordinance shall not exceed two-thirds of the highest pension- able emoluments drawn by him at any time in the course of his service in this Colony.
(2) Where the officer has been or is granted a pension or pensions in respect of other public service, he may be granted the full pension for which he is eligible in respect of his service in this Colony, but no person may at any time draw from the funds of this Colony an amount of pension which, when added to the amount of any pension or pensions drawn in respect of other public service, exceeds two-thirds of the highest pensionable emoluments drawn by such person at any time in the course of his service in this Colony or in other public service.
Provided further that where such a person receives, in respect of some period of public service, both a gratuity and a pension the amount of such pension shall be deemed, for the purpose of this sub-section, to be four-thirds of its actual amount.
(3) In a case falling under any of the limitations laid down by sub-section (2), the amount of pension to be drawn from the funds of this Colony shall be subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, in order that it may be determined with due regard to the amount of any pension or pensions similarly to be drawn in respect of other public service.
(4) For the purposes of the preceding sub-sections, an allowance granted in respect of injury shall not be taken into account; but where the officer is granted such an allowance the amount of such allowance which he may draw shall not exceed one-sixth of his highest pensionable emoluments at any time in the course of his public service by more than the sum by which the amount of his pension or pensions, apart from such allowance, falls short of two-thirds of such highest pensionable emoluments.
12. No pension, gratuity or other allowance granted under this Ordinance shall be assignable or transferable or liable to be attached, sequestered or levied upon for or in respect of any debt or claim whatsoever other than a debt due to the Government.
13. If any officer to whom a pension or other allowance has been granted under this Ordinance is adjudicated a bankruptcy, bankrupt or is declared insolvent by judgment of the Court,
then such pension or allowance shall forthwith cease:
